INDIA group parliament members are confident that with Rahul Gandhi returning to Parliament, their voice against the PM Modi government will be much stronger regarding the Manipur issue.
It is like a shot in the arm for the members of the opposition as they are going for the No confidence motion against the Government.
Rahul Gandhi is likely to spearhead the Manipur debate in the lower house this week if he is allowed to return to the parliament.Speaking on today’s development, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi says, “Speaker took the decision today.
We followed the legal process and immediately after receiving the Supreme Court’s order, we restored it…”Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification as Lok Sabha member has been revoked following a stay by the Supreme Court on his conviction in a criminal defamation case for his ‘Modi surname’ remark.
The Supreme Court, while ordering a stay on his conviction, observed that while Rahul’s remarks were not in good taste, his disqualification from parliament would affect people of Wayanad constituency.
“In view of order dated 04.08.2023 of the Supreme Court of India, the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi, notified vide Gazette Notification no. 21/4(3)/2023/TO(B) dated the 24th March, 2023 in terms of the provisions of Article 102(1)(e) of the Constitution of India read with Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, has ceased to operate subject to further judicial pronouncements,” it added.
