Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from Lok Sabha on Friday, a day after he was convicted by a Surat court in a 2019 criminal defamation case.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat, announcing his disqualification in a notification, said it was effective from March 23, the day of his conviction. He represented Wayanad constituency in Kerala.
