New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Friday welcomed the Supreme Court’s order to stay the conviction against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the Modi surname case.

Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal wrote: “I welcome Hon’ble Supreme Court’s intervention in an unjust defamation case against Rahul Gandhi ji.  It reinforces people’s trust in Indian democracy and the judicial system. Congratulations to him and to the people of Wayanad.”

The apex court has stayed Gandhi’s conviction in the defamation case over the ‘Modi surname’ remark.

Reacting to the SC decision, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra thanked the court and quoted Gautam Budhha in a tweet.

She tweeted: “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth- Gautama Buddha.”
