More than four months after his disqualification as a member of the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on August 7 returned to Parliament after the Lok Sabha Secretariat restored his membership, following the Supreme Court stay on his conviction by a Surat court in a defamation case.
The Congress leader also changed his bio on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to ‘Member of Parliament’ from the earlier ‘Dis’Qualified MP description that he had posted.
With Mr. Gandhi’s reinstatement coming a day before the Lok Sabha takes up the no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government on Tuesday, he could be initiating the debate that is expected to start around noon.
