According to sources, Rahul Gandhi will address on behalf of the Congress in the Lok Sabha on the no-confidence motion on Tuesday (August 8). 

Gandhi recently received significant relief from the Supreme Court, which postponed his conviction in a 2019 criminal defamation case stemming from his Modi surname joke.

Rahul Gandhi altered his Twitter bio from 'Disqualified MP' to 'Member of Parliament' on Monday, just hours after his Lok Sabha membership was restored. 

The Lok Sabha Secretariat issued a statement earlier today (August 7) declaring that Gandhi's disqualification had been lifted and his membership reinstated. 


Gandhi arrived on Monday. Gandhi arrived in Parliament hours after his membership had been restored.


SC gives relief to Gandhi

Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court issued a big relief to Gandhi by staying his conviction in a 2019 criminal defamation case over his Modi surname comment, paving the path for his reinstatement as a Lok Sabha MP.

The stay, which also allows Gandhi, 53, to run in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, was granted since the trial court in Surat, Gujarat, failed to explain why he deserved the maximum two-year sentence following his conviction, which resulted in his disqualification from the Lower House of Parliament. 

The Supreme Court further stated that if the punishment had been a day shorter, it would not have resulted in disqualification.
