Following his disqualification from the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on March 26 changed his bio on Twitter where he described himself as a “Dis’Qualified MP”
Following his disqualification from the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on March 26 changed his bio on Twitter where he described himself as a "Dis'Qualified MP".
He also wrote "Dis'Qualified MP" on his the official Wayanad Twitter account.
Mr. Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on March 24, a day after a court in Gujarat's Surat convicted him in a 2019 defamation case. The disqualification will prevent Mr. Gandhi (52), a four-time MP, from contesting elections for eight years unless a higher court stays the conviction.
Even though Mr. Gandhi is yet to file a review petition, the Congress has said it would fight it legally and politically.
The Congress on March 26, 2023 began a day-long “Sankalp Satyagraha” at Delhi’s Rajghat in support of Rahul Gandhi following his disqualification from the Lok Sabha.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, senior leaders K.C. Venugopal, P. Chidambaram and Salman Khurshid were among the party’s top brass taking part in the Satyagraha at Rajghat.
Jairam Ramesh, Mukul Wasnik, Pawan Kumar Bansal, Saktisinh Gohil, Jothimani, Pratibha Singh and Manish Chatrath were also present at the protest site.
