New Delhi, July 07 (ANI): BMP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad while addressing press conference on July 07 slammed Rahul Gandhi and Congress over his ‘Modi surname’ remarks after Gujarat HC refused to stay his conviction in defamation case. Lambasting Congress, RS Prasad said, “Why can’t you control Rahul Gandhi? Why can’t you train him to speak properly?” He said, “We would like to ask Congress - why can't you control Rahul Gandhi? Why can't you train him to speak properly? He is your leader. Had he apologised in this matter, it would have ended...It has become a chronic habit of Rahul Gandhi to abuse, defame & almost showering the worst kind of abuses against eminent leaders and organisations."The Gujarat High Court on Friday refused to stay on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's plea seeking a stay on his conviction in the 'Modi surname' defamation case. The bench of Justice Hemant M Prachchhak said that the trial court conviction order is proper. "There is no need to interfere with the said order. Therefore, the application is dismissed," he said. The court dismissed Rahul Gandhi's plea and noted that at least 10 criminal cases were pending against him and even after the present case, some more cases have been filed against him. One such case has been filed by the grandson of Veer Savarkar, the court said.
