Rahul Gandhi back as MP
Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE Updates: Protests caused the Rajya Sabha to adjourn shortly after it started till 2 p.m. Treasury benches demanded that the gangrape of a 14-year-old girl in Rajasthan be discussed, while the opposition persisted in seeking a discussion of the violence in Manipur. Even Lok Sabha was momentarily adjourned due to opposition protests regarding the Manipur issue.
The final week of the Monsoon Session of Parliament is expected to be turbulent as the Lok Sabha prepares to consider the no-confidence vote against the government and the Rajya Sabha prepares to engage in a vigorous discussion on the Delhi Services Bill. The Supreme Court granted a stay on Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in the “Modi surname” case, prompting the Lok Sabha Secretariat to publish a notification to reinstate his MP status.
With his disqualification overturned, Congress is likely to choose Mr. Gandhi as the primary speaker for the opposition during Tuesday’s discussion on the no-trust motion. The no-trust resolution will be discussed in the Lok Sabha for 12 hours, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to respond to the debate on Thursday.
