Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification as Lok Sabha member revoked
PTI, Aug 7, 2023, 10:42 AM IST
The Lok Sabha membership of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was restored on Monday.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat issued a notification announcing that his disqualification has been revoked and his membership restored.
Gandhi was disqualified as a Lok Sabha member on March 23 after a Gujarat court convicted him in a defamation case and sentenced him to two years in jail.
A punishment for two years and above automatically disqualifies a lawmaker.
The Supreme Court on Friday last stayed his conviction, paving the way for restoration of his Lok Sabha membership.
He represents Wayanad in the upper house.
