Modi surname defamation case: Why Supreme Court stayed Rahul Gandhi's conviction

IndiaTimes Friday, 4 August 2023
The Supreme Court has stayed the conviction of Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case over his comment about the Modi surname. The court ruled that the trial judge must offer reasons for imposing maximum punishment for a non-cognizable offence. The Congress leader was sentenced to two years in jail by a Gujarat court over comments he made during a 2019 election rally. His conviction led to his disqualification as an MP under the Representation of People Act. The top court observed that Gandhi should have exercised caution in his speech but also questioned why no reason had been given by the trial court for the maximum sentence.

Trump Kill Bid: How a Series of Security Lapses, Failures Led to Near Fatal Shooting | Details

Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks fired five shots from an AR-15 rifle from a 120-yard distance. The incident highlighted critical security lapses compared to the SPG protocols for India's PM Modi, which include limited exposure and thorough sweeps. Footage revealed disorganised Secret Service personnel, insufficient Bullet-resistant shields, and Sniper protection. This event recalls the assassination of Japan's former PM Shinzo Abe and underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of security measures for political candidates. #DonaldTrump #TrumpWeapon #AR15 #USGunLaws #USSecurityService #SecurityServiceChief #KimberlyCheatle #TrumpAssassinationAttempt #TrumpShot #DonaldTrumpShot #DonaldTrumpAssassination #AssassinationDonaldTrump #DonaldTrumpShotCampaign #DonaldTrumpEar #DonaldTrumpBullet #USNews #BreakingNews #InternationalNews #DonaldTrumpAssassination #biden #Trump #PoliticalViolence #NationalUnity #USPresident #breakingNews #Rehobothbeach #DonaldTrump #SecretService #StateAgencies ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.334~
