Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha Membership Restored

The Lok Sabha Secretariat has restored the membership of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today. The development assumes significance as Rahul can now attend the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament.

Earlier on Friday, the Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury had said that he had submitted all the relevant documents to the Lok Sabha Secretariat with a plea to restore the senior Congress leader’s membership expeditiously.

He had also threatened to move the Supreme Court if Gandhi’s membership was not restored by Monday evening.

The Apex Court had on Friday stayed the order of the Trial Court in Gujarat which had convicted Gandhi in a defamation case and slapped a two-year sentence on him.
