The political nature of the "criminal defamation" case against @RahulGandhi should be obvious to anyone who followed the timeline of the legal proceeding.
See:
thewire.in/law/rahul-gand…
The plaintiff in tghis case, Mr Purnesh Modi, sought, and won, a High Court ordered stay in the case for 11 months.
April 16, 2019: case first filed
June 24, 2021: Rahul Gandhi appeared in Court to record his statement before Chief Judicial magistrate AN Dave
March 2022 CJM insists that both sides commence arguments immediately, the Plaintiff applies to the High Court for a stay
March 7, 2022. High Court grants such Stay.
Case in abeyance for 11 months.
Then
Feb 16, 2023, plaintiff goes back to High Court to vacate the Stay.
What happened between March 2022 and Feb 16 2023 to make the plaintiff argue that the case had been dragging on for too long and should resume?
1. #BharatJodoYatra
1. #Hindenburg-#Adani
2. Rahul Gandhi's speeches in London
Feb 27, 2023. case resumes again before a new CJM, Mr HH Varma
March 23. "guilty" verdict handed down.
Clearly, the Plaintiff has a lot to answer, esp why he sought a delay first and then timed the resumption of the case. Even assuming it had any merit.

Whatever the visiting #G20 dignitaries may say in public, the Prime Minister's Office, Ministers and others in the Indian Govt must be under no illusion, about what they must be thinking in private about the regime that makes so much about #G20Presidency
This was most aptly put by @AndrewMMacLeod when he spoke frankly in the famous @TimesNow panel dicussion. Every G20 embassy in Chankyapuri must have sent a diplomatic cable back to their capitals and Chancelleries detailing events of the recent days.
Under the heading, "India Govt acting irrationally" they would have chronicled
- the withdrawal of security barriers at UK embassy in Delhi
- the convenient court verdict on Rahul Gandhi
- the news blackout of the 18-party protest in Delhi
- the continued coverage ONLY of 1 man.

National Car Parks Ltd, a private car parks ocompany ABSOLUTELY sucks. They operate car parks in towns, cities, airports, London Underground and National Rail stations. but as a service organisation they provide a shoddy service. Read on...
In terms of a digital presence, they are backward looking dinosaurs. They have had a twitter presence since 2011 but their twitter handle says Image
The website they refer you to is dire. Anyway the reason for my angst is simple. I parked today at one of their ANPR monitored ticketless car parks. You can pay only by their ParkPass App. On @GooglePlay ther app does not install on my 3 year old Galaxy A22 phone because... wait

This is juvenile behaviour, almost a childish attitude. In the case of the High Commission in London, @metpoliceuk have increased the police presence at their Strand building. Leaving the British High Commission exposed like this is not likely to mollify the Khalistani dissidents Image
@metpoliceuk I wouldn't be surprised if in the next few days we see a mob of the usual suspects marching on the British High Commission and/or the British Ambassador's residence in New Delhi. I am reminded of the organised Iranian protests outside US/UK embassies in Teheran in the 1980s.
Acc to the Guardian Newspaper, "The Met has launched an investigation. A spokesperson said: “Windows were broken at the high commission building. Two members of security staff sustained injuries. These are believed to be minor; they did not require hospital treatment."

The Charge: democracy is in decline in India. "The State stifles dissent, criminalises protest, and shuts down free speech".
The Response:
1. @ChetanAhimsa , a kannada actor is arrested on an FIR by a Bajrang Dal activist for his tweet on #Hindutva
2. Delhi Police arrest 100 for putting up posters that are critical of the Prime Minister. Image
3. Calls grow to act against MP @RahulGandhi including expulsion from Parliament. Image
