New Delhi: In a major setback to the Congress party, Rahul Gandhi has been disqualified as a member of the Lok Sabha a day after Surat District Court pronounced him guilty in the 2019 criminal defamation case.
He has been disqualified from the Parliament from the date of his conviction in the criminal defamation case over his ‘Modi surname’ remark, March 23.
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi was sentenced to two years imprisonment for his alleged ‘Modi surname’ remark.
The notification about the same has been sent to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi was an MP from Kerala’s Wayanad seat.
In 2019, Rahul Gandhi allegedly made remarks about Modi’s surname at a rally in Karnataka’s Kolar. He had made the remarks ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha election.
The Surat Court has passed the order of two years jail for Rahul Gandhi. It wasn’t for attacking Narendra Modi, it was for attacking ‘Modi’ surname. Imagine calling everyone with the surname Mohd as Terrorist, what would have happened to him?
We all know SC will give him bail. pic.twitter.com/3ia1BR1JCY

#RahulGandhi has been disqualified as an MP. We had suspected this as soon as the two years jail term was pronounced – this is essential to cancel anyone’s membership (of the House).
