Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification case a litmus test for the Indian judiciary, says Congress

The Hindu  

Rahul Gandhi’s conviction and disqualification from the Lok Sabha is “deeply flawed” in law and is a “litmus test” for the Indian judiciary, Congress leader Anand Sharma said on April 12 as he expressed hope “it will be corrected”. A sessions court in Surat is scheduled to hear Mr. Gandhi’s appeal on Thursday for a stay on his conviction in the criminal defamation case that led to his disqualification from the Lok Sabha. Addressing a press conference at the All India Congress Committee headquarters here, Mr. Sharma said if the same yardstick were to be applied to every politician, then “India’s Parliament would have been hollowed out”. Apart from attacking the Narendra Modi government over its handling of the economy, the senior Congress leader said that India’s democracy was made “dysfunctional not by default but by design”.
