Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday opposed the plea filed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi before Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court seeking issuance of a fresh passport.
Mr. Gandhi had surrendered his diplomatic passport following his disqualification as an MP on March 26. The disqualification was followed after his conviction by a court in Surat in a criminal defamation case over his ‘Modi’ surname remark.
Advocate Tarannum Cheema, who represented Mr. Gandhi, told the court that he could be granted a no-objection certificate.
