NEW DELHI: The Congress has demanded early reinstatement of former party president Rahul Gandhi as a Lok Sabha MP after the Supreme Court on Friday stayed his conviction in the Modi surname remark case. It has sought his reinstatement before August 8, when the Lower House starts debating on the no-confidence motion moved by the opposition.
Speaking to media persons, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rajya Sabha MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi and leader of the party in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said Rahul should be reinstated as quickly as he was disqualified after a Surat court convicted him in the Modi surname remark case early this year.
