According to party sources, Rahul Gandhi has been nominated again in the committee after his disqualification (as MP) was revoked.
The Congress leader was disqualified as an MP after a Surat court convicted him in a 2019 Modi surname remark defamation case.
He had made the remark in Karnataka’s Kolar in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
His conviction was stayed by the Supreme Court on Augist 4 after which his Lok Sabha membership was reinstated.
