Rahul Gandhi Changes Twitter Bio To…..

Shashank

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi changed his Twitter bio to ‘Dis’Qualified MP’ on Sunday after being disqualified as a Member of Parliament from the Lok Sabha earlier this week. Gandhi was disqualified after being convicted of defamation in a Surat court on Thursday (March 23). The case related to his 2019 remark about thieves with the surname Modi.

The court sentenced Gandhi to two years in prison. The Congress is holding a day-long ‘Sankalp Satyagraha’ across the country on Sunday (March 26), in a show of support for Gandhi. At Rajghat in New Delhi, party president Mallikarjun Kharge said, “This Satyagraha is just for today but such Satyagrahas will be done across the country… Rahul Gandhi is fighting for the common people. The statement (Modi surname) was given by Rahul Gandhi in Karnataka but the case was transferred to Gujarat. BJP did not have the power to file the defamation case in Karnataka.”
