Is the conviction of Rahul Gandhi a turning point for India?
De facto opposition leader Rahul Gandhi faces a jail sentence for allegedly defaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The de facto leader of India’s opposition, Rahul Gandhi, has been stripped of his seat in parliament and is facing two years in prison for allegedly defaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Gandhi has lodged an appeal and is out on bail until a hearing on April 13. Government critics say the case fits into a broader pattern of cracking down on dissent in India.
