The party has attacked the Modi government on the issue and said that it will fight the matter legally and politically.
The court verdict, which came last week, related to Rahul Gandhi’s Modi surname remarks made during an election rally in April 2019 in Karnataka.
The court approved Gandhi’s bail on a surety and stayed the sentence for 30 days to allow him to approach the higher courts.
