West Bengal Police on Thursday detained Congress workers, protesting against the conviction of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi by the Surat district court over his 'Modi surname' remark.
"This is new India. If you raise your voice against injustice, then ED-CBI, Police, and FIR will be imposed on everyone. Rahul Gandhi is also getting punished for speaking the truth and raising his voice against the dictator", tweeted Ramesh.
Rahul Gandhi has been convicted by the court for 2019 comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surname during an election rally. He will not go to jail immediately as the same court has given him bail for 30 days so that he can file an appeal against his conviction in the upper court.
"The whole machinery of scared power is trying to suppress the voice of Rahul Gandhi by imposing price, punishment and discrimination. My brother has never been afraid, nor will he ever be. He has lived speaking the truth, will continue to speak the truth", tweeted Priyanka Gandhi.
