| Video Discription | The United States is closely monitoring the ongoing defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in an Indian court, said US Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel on Thursday. Patel emphasized the importance of respecting the rule of law and judicial independence in a democracy, stating that the US is closely watching the case. The defamation case against Rahul Gandhi stems from comments he made in 2019 during a political rally in which he referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "Modi Ji." Gandhi then went on to say, "Those who keep any other name, they are thieves." The comments were widely interpreted as an insinuation that Modi had changed his name to hide his family's Muslim background. The remarks sparked outrage from members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and prompted a defamation lawsuit by an RSS worker, stating that the comments had hurt the sentiments of millions of Modi supporters. Rahul Gandhi has been summoned to appear before a court in Surat, Gujarat in connection with the case. In response to a reporter's question at a press briefing, Patel said, "We believe that respect for the rule of law and judicial independence is a cornerstone of any democracy. We’re watching Mr Gandhi’s case in Indian court and would refer you to his team for any further comment." Gandhi has previously defended his remarks, stating that he was merely questioning the prime minister's policies and not his personal life or background. He has also accused the BJP of attempting to suppress his freedom of speech. This is not the first time that the US has commented on a high-profile case in India. In December 2020, the US State Department had expressed concerns over the arrest of activists in India, including prominent scholar and civil rights activist Gautam Navlakha. The US had urged the Indian government to respect the right to peaceful assembly and expression. The case against Rahul Gandhi has been a major talking point in Indian politics and has triggered a debate on the limits of free speech in the country. While some have criticized Gandhi for his remarks, others have argued that the lawsuit is an attempt to stifle dissent and freedom of expression. The outcome of the case is likely to have far-reaching implications on the political discourse in the country. #rahulgandhi #unitedstates #narendramodi #indiausrelations #india #rahulgandhidefamationcase #rahulgandhidisqualified #rahulgandhiconviction Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: http://goo.gl/WgIatu For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimesofIndia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesofindia/ Download the app: http://toi.in/3SLUCa80 Follow TOI+ for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/timesofindiaplus Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOIPlus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toi_plus/ |
