The Indian Overseas Congress held a protest against the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi as an MP in London by the Gandhi statue in London’s Parliament Square, calling the Centre’s move ‘undemocratic’, ‘unconstitutional’, and ‘unparliamentary’.
“Disqualifying Rahul Gandhi is an attempt to instill fear in people to show that anything can happen if you go against the government, or the BJP. His sentencing in the 2019 defamation case over the Modi surname remark was maximized so that he could be disqualified. This is an act to distract the nation from the Adani issue,” said Kamal Dhaliwal, the Indian Overseas Congress chief.
