Congress MP Calls for Silent Protest in Support of Rahul Gandhi, Gujarat High Court Upholds Conviction


PCCs to Organize Maun Satyagraha; Court Upholds Verdict in Defamation Case

Congress Party MP, KC Venugopal, has urged all Pradesh Congress Committees (PCCs) to orchestrate a significant one-day 'Maun Satyagraha' (silent protest) in front of Gandhi statues across state headquarters on July 12th. The aim of this protest is to showcase solidarity with Rahul Gandhi, who recently faced a conviction in a defamation case for his 'Modi surname' remark. Simultaneously, the Gujarat High Court has upheld the Sessions Court's decision, rejecting a stay on Rahul Gandhi's conviction.

Amidst these circumstances, Venugopal's call for a united display of support comes as a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Congress Party and its members. The silent protest seeks to emphasize that Rahul Gandhi is not alone in his fight for truth and justice, garnering support from millions of Congress members and citizens across the country, regardless of their political affiliations.

On the legal front, the Gujarat High Court delivered its verdict today, confirming the Sessions Court's ruling to deny a stay on Rahul Gandhi's conviction in the defamation case. The case stems from his 'Modi surname' remark, which led to his disqualification from the Lok Sabha. The court's decision reinforces the need for accountability and adherence to legal consequences.

As a result, the upcoming silent protest gains further significance. It serves as a platform for party leaders, Members of Parliament, Members of Legislative Assembly/Council, elected representatives, leaders of frontal organizations, department heads, party workers, and supporters to unite in expressing solidarity with Rahul Gandhi. The silence of the protest amplifies the voice of the Congress Party, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the values they hold dear.

Through this collective mobilization, the Congress Party aims to send a powerful message to the nation and the world, underscoring their unwavering support for Rahul Gandhi in his quest for transparency and accountability. The silent protest stands as a testament to the strength and determination of the Indian people, who believe in upholding the principles of democracy and the pursuit of truth.
The Congress Party, under the leadership of Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, remains resolute in its commitment to stand by Rahul Gandhi, displaying unity and strength in the face of adversity. The silent protest on July 12th will serve as a significant chapter in this ongoing saga, highlighting the party's unwavering support for its leader.

While the legal battle continues, Rahul Gandhi's conviction in the defamation case reverberates across the political landscape. It emphasizes the importance of responsible speech and the consequences it carries. As the nation awaits further developments, the Congress Party's silent protest stands as a powerful symbol of their collective voice in support of their leader, Rahul Gandhi.
