When will rahul gandhi enter Parliament..!?
rahul gandhi got a big relief from the supreme court in the defamation case against Modi. After the supreme Court's order, the former congress supremo's entry into parliament has been cleared. But the question is when lok sabha secretariat will restore rahul Gandhi's membership. Will rahul gandhi be able to re-enter parliament before the no-confidence motion against the Modi government on august 8?
In fact, Purnesh Modi, a bjp mla from Gujarat, claimed defamation after rahul gandhi commented on Modi's surname during the 2019 lok sabha elections. In the defamation case, the surat trial court sentenced rahul gandhi to a maximum of 2 years. The very next day after rahul was sentenced, the lok sabha secretariat issued a notification disqualifying him from being a member of the Lok Sabha. rahul gandhi was mp from wayanad seat in Kerala.
What is the process for membership renewal?
According to lok sabha secretariat rules, rahul gandhi will now have to make an application to the lok sabha secretariat seeking a stay on his sentence. As such, his position as a Member of the parliament of wayanad should be restored. Along with this application, they have to submit a copy of the supreme court order. The lok sabha secretariat will issue a notification after reviewing it. In fact, the membership of the house of Representatives is revoked if the punishment is more than two years in any criminal case. rahul Gandhi's membership was also revoked after he was sentenced to two years.
The lok sabha secretariat had spent more than two months on the case of lakshadweep mp Mohammad Faisal. ncp mp Mohammad Faisal's membership was revoked after he was convicted in a murder case. But the kerala High court stayed his murder sentence. After the ban on punishment, the lok sabha secretariat took more than two months to restore the membership. When Faisal approached the supreme court against the delay in the sentence, the lok sabha secretariat immediately reinstated the membership. On the other hand, congress did not delay in restoring rahul Gandhi's membership after getting relief from the supreme Court. congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary met lok sabha Speaker om birla within an hour of the order on Friday. After meeting with the Speaker of the lok sabha, the Speaker requested the reinstatement of rahul Gandhi's membership.
