Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Thursday told a Surat court that he did not say anything wrong when he wondered why all thieves shared the Modi surname.

Rahul Gandhi made the remark as the court deferred till December 10 the hearing on the defamation case filed against former Congress president Rahul Gandhi over his remark: Why do all thieves share the Modi surname?

Chief Judicial Magistrate B H Kapadia had in May issued summons to Gandhi after admitting a complaint filed by local BJP MLA Purnesh Modi under IPC sections 499 and 500, which deal with criminal defamation.

During the last hearing in July, the court had granted Gandhi exemption from personal appearance for that hearing and fixed October 10 as the next date of hearing.

In his complaint, the BJP legislator from Surat-West had alleged the Congress leader had defamed the entire Modi community with his remark, made during the Lok Sabha campaign this year.
