At the same time, in the notification issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat, it has been said that his disqualification order will be effective from March 23. The notification states that he (Rahul Gandhi) has been disqualified under Article 102(1) of the Constitution and Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
Significantly, a Surat court on Thursday sentenced Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to two years in prison in a 2019 criminal libel case brought against him for his comment about the “surname Modi.” However, the court granted Gandhi bail and stayed the execution of his sentence for 30 days, so that Congress leaders could challenge the verdict.
