Rahul Gandhi’s Wayanad seat also fell vacant after his disqualification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will this afternoon hold his first press conference after being disqualified from the Lok Sabha. The presser is scheduled at 1 pm.<\/p>\n

Mr Gandhi lost his MP status after a Gujarat court found him guilty in a criminal defamation case and sentenced him to two years in jail on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In his first comments after disqualification, the former Wayanad MP said he is ready to “pay any price”. “I am fighting for the voice of India. I am ready to pay any price,” Mr Gandhi tweeted in Hindi yesterday.<\/p>\n

The former Congress chief’s Wayanad seat also fell vacant after his disqualification.<\/p>\n

Mr Gandhi was on Thursday found guilty of defamation for a 2019 campaign trail remark implying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a criminal. “How come all thieves have Modi as the common surname”, he had allegedly remarked in Karnataka’s Kolar, after which several complaints were lodged against him in various states.<\/p>\n

The Surat court that convicted Mr Gandhi also granted him bail for 30 days to let him appeal the decision.<\/p>\n

“My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God, non-violence the means to get it,” he had tweeted quoting Mahatma Gandhi, in his first comment after the verdict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
