The court of Chief Judicial Magistrate HH Varma, which held Gandhi guilty under Indian Penal Code sections 499 and 500, also granted him bail, and suspended the sentence for 30 days to allow him to appeal in a higher court, the Congress leader’s lawyer Babu Mangukiya said.
The Prime Minister is not India!
In no way is the criticism of the PM or the Govt an 'attack on India'!
I will speak the truth, and fight for it, come what may. pic.twitter.com/2Mkg0BgpZD
