The Congress will go to court in case of a delay, sources said. The united opposition will also add the issue to the list they are flagging in parliament.
The papers for restoration of Congress's Rahul Gandhi are ready and all that remains is a sign-off from the lok Sabha Speaker. This is expected to be done tomorrow, sources have said. The Congress will go to court in case of a delay, sources have said. The united opposition will also add the issue to the list they are flagging in parliament in case the Speaker doesn't act with the speed with which he disqualified Mr Gandhi after his conviction in the defamation case.
In case of Lakshadweep MP PP Mohammed Faizal, a member of the Nationalist Congress Party, the restoration had taken over a month.
The MP, who was disqualified in January after receiving a 10-year jail term, had to go to the Supreme Court when he was not restored despite a Kerala High order freezing the sentence. He was restored ahead of the Supreme Court hearing in March.
