The Supreme Court was apprised by the complainant in the criminal defamation case against Rahul Gandhi about the arrogance shown by Gandhi
The Complainant told the court that the leader from Congress has shown arrogance rather than being apologetic over his All Thieves have Modi surname remark.
Purnesh Gandhi, who is the complainant said that Rahul Gandhi has maligned a totally blameless class of people by his reckless and malicious words.
Purnesh Modi told the court while arguing against stay on the conviction and sentence handed down to Gandhi by a Magistrate court.
It was further said that ,the petitioner far from being repetant and contrite, displayed arrogance.
The complainanat said that the petitioner has maliciously and recklessly used scurrilous words against a large and totally blameless class of persons, who have caused no harm to him.
