Congress cries foul as Rahul Gandhi is disqualified as MP

The Hindu  

Published : Mar 24, 2023 16:39 IST - 3 MINS READ Congress leader and Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as MP following a March 23 sentencing and conviction by a Surat court on a defamation charge. A notification issued by the Lok Sabha secretariat on March 24 said: “Consequent upon his conviction by the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Surat…Rahul Gandhi, Member of Lok Sabha representing the Wayanad Parliamentary Constituency of Kerala, stands disqualified from the membership of Lok Sabha from the date of his conviction, i.e., March 23, 2023, in terms of the provisions of Article 102 of the Constitution of India read with Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.” The notification was signed by Lok Sabha secretary general Utpal Kumar Singh. A senior politician, while condemning the conviction, said that it was Rahul Gandhi’s earlier “immaturity” which had led to the current state of affairs. Congress whip Manickam Tagore told Frontline that Rahul Gandhi became a target the day he spoke about Adani-Modi nexus in Parliament on February 7.
