On 23 March 2023, the Chief Judicial Magistrate HH Varma of a Surat court convicted Congress’ de-facto chief Rahul Gandhi to two years imprisonment in the ‘Modi Surname’ defamation case.
The case pertains to Rahul Gandhi’s comments during a rally in Kolar, Karnataka, where he said, “how come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?”.
Following his conviction, Rahul Gandhi by default was disqualified as Lok Sabha MP.
Reacting to this event, VCK chief Thol. Thirumavalavan who is also a Lok Sabha MP alleged that the verdict was delivered by a judge having ‘RSS mindset’.
They have replaced the judge who investigated the case with a judge favourable to them and handed out this two-year year jail sentence through him. This is a clear-cut conspiracy.
In his statement, he said “Knowing that the judge who heard this case in the lower court in Surat was not in accordance with their wishes, they changed him and appointed someone who was close to them and got this verdict. The judge adjourned the sentence for 30 days to appeal. But without giving it a chance, depriving Rahuk Gandhi of his post shows the BJP’s shoddy ploy to prevent him from entering Parliament.”

In light of this, temple rights activist Rangarajan Narasimham has filed a petition with the Advocate General of Tamil Nadu to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Thirumavalavan.
Here we go. This is first legal step on those who think they can get away with anything. Just a beginning. I know the road is long but when I set my sight on the target, I never take my eyes off it! @thirumaofficial must unconditionally apologise if he wants to escape punishment! pic.twitter.com/DntjevzY5z

“The speech of Mr. Thirumavalavan on a public platform in his official Twitter handle and his official statement in his letter head is a serious attack on the integrity of the Hon’ble Surat District and Civil Courts as it attributes motive to the judgement of a learned judge and thus reducing the dignity of the Hon’ble Surat District and Civil Courts and the Hon’ble judge as well as the judiciary.”, Mr. Rangarajan Narasimhan wrote in his petition.
