Rahul Gandhi's New Twitter Bio After Lok Sabha Membership Restored

Rahul Gandhi's bio had previously read "Dis'Qualified MP" following his suspension from the lower house over a criminal defamation case.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today changed his Twitter bio to "Member of Parliament" after his Lok Sabha membership was restored. Mr Gandhi's bio had previously read "Dis'Qualified MP" following his suspension from the lower house over a criminal defamation case filed against him for his 'Modi' surname remarks. 

His Twitter bio now reads, "This is the official account of Rahul Gandhi. Member of the Indian National Congress. Member of Parliament."

Mr Gandhi's conviction in the case was put on hold by the Supreme Court on Friday, which in its order stated that while the Congress leader's remarks were not in good taste, his disqualification from parliament would affect his constituents.
