Rahul Gandhi reached Parliament on Monday, hours after the Lok Sabha secretariat cleared his return as MP in the Lower House Monday.
He paid tributes at the Gandhi statue before attending the Lok Sabha proceedings, scheduled to start at 12 pm. Last week, the Supreme Court had stayed his conviction in a criminal defamation case. The Congress wants Rahul to participate in the no-confidence motion discussion in the Lok Sabha that begins tomorrow.
The Congress leader, who was disqualified from the lower house, in March 2023 has been reinstated as the Wayanad MP. Meanwhile, both Houses of Parliament have been adjourned amid ruckus by opposition leaders.
The Delhi services bill is set to be taken up in Rajya Sabha today. The Congress and AAP have issued whips to their MPs asking them to be present in the Upper House till its adjournment. The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, has already been passed by Lok Sabha.
Hours after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was reinstated as a Member of Parliament after the Lok Sabha Secretariat restored his membership, his bio on X was changed. He now added a ‘Member of Parliament’ to his profile again.
