'Will chop off the tongue of the judge..' Congress leader's shocker; Tamil Nadu Police registers case

Dindigul (Tamil Nadu): Police have registered a case against a Tamil Nadu Congress leader, who threatened to chop off the tongue of the judge who sentenced Rahul Gandhi to two years in jail in the 2019 criminal defamation case, media reports said.


The Dindigul Police on Saturday registered a case against Congress Dindigul district president, Manikandan, news agency ANI reported.

"A case has been registered against Congress leader Manikandan under three sections of IPC including 153B for his remarks. An investigation is underway," officials were quoted as saying by ANI.

Manikandan made the remark while protesting Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification from Parliament in Tamil Nadu's Dindigul on April 6.

"When we will come to power, we will chop off the tongue of the judge who delivered the verdict to send our leader Rahul Gandhi to jail," Manikandan said, according to ANI.

Rahul Gandhi's membership in the Lower House of Parliament was cancelled after he was convicted in a criminal defamation case in 2019 and sentenced by a Surat court to two years imprisonment.

During an election campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in April 2019, Gandhi made a comment using the surname 'Modi', which led to the case. He had said at the rally in Karnataka's Kola, "How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?"

Following his disqualification as an MP, the Lok Sabha Secretariat issued a notice on March 27, instructing Gandhi to vacate his government bungalow. The notice stated that the allotment of the bungalow will be cancelled from April 24.

As per a Supreme Court ruling in 2013, any MP or MLA stands to be disqualified automatically if convicted and sentenced to 2 years or more.
