Rahul Gandhi disqualified (Congress at Rajghat): After losing its membership in the Lok Sabha, the Congress will hold a rally in support of Rahul Gandhi across the country today. Congress leaders and workers will protest in front of the Gandhi statue in every state. Simultaneously, senior party leaders will perform a satyagraha at the Raj Ghat. The Satyagraha will begin at 10 am and end at 5 pm.
The protest is being held against the backdrop of Rahul Gandhi being disqualified as Lok Sabha MP leader after he was convicted in a defamation case in 2019. He was sentenced to two years in gaol for saying “Why all thieves bear the surname Modi” at a rally in Kolar, Karnataka, ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
