After Supreme Court stayed Gandhi’s conviction in a defamation case on August 4, the Congress was keen that his Lok Sabha membership is restored at the earliest.
BJP MP Tejasvi Surya said the reinstatement of Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha membership is a temporary relief to the Congress leader till the matter is finally settled.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) claimed the SC order staying Rahul Gandhi's conviction in a 2019 criminal defamation has exposed the Union government's "vindictive politics".
