SC adjourns hearing on PIL challenging restoration of Rahul's LS membership


New Delhi, November 03 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday deferred hearing on a PIL filed by a Lucknow-based lawyer challenging the restoration of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha membership.

Following the apex court's stay order, the Lok Sabha Secretariat restored his membership in Parliament on August 7.

Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as an MP in March this year after a Surat court convicted him and sentenced him to two years in prison for his "How come all thieves have Modi as the common surname" remark made during an election rally in Karnataka in April 2019.

His remark was interpreted as an attempt to draw an implicit connection between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and fugitive businessmen Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi.
