Rahul Gandhi nominated to Standing Committee on Defence
According to party sources, Rahul Gandhi has been nominated again in the committee after his disqualification (as MP) was revoked.
The Congress leader was disqualified as an MP after a Surat court convicted him in a 2019 Modi surname remark defamation case.
He had made the remark in Karnataka's Kolar in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
His conviction was stayed by the Supreme Court on Augist 4 after which his Lok Sabha membership was reinstated.
