Gandhi’s Lok Sabha membership was restored on Monday. The Lok Sabha Secretariat issued a notification announcing his disqualification has been revoked and his membership restored.

“I welcome the decision to restore the Lok Sabha membership of Rahul Gandhi. Now, we will again hear in Parliament that lion’s roar which gives fearlessness to the public and creates fear among the opponents of democracy,” Nath tweeted.
