Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is no longer a Member of Parliament. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla took the decision to disqualify the Gandhi Family scion following his conviction in a case of criminal defamation, with two-year jail sentence. Less than two years of jail and he wouldn't have ended up in this mess. But, irony of irony, it was Rahul Gandhi who tore up an ordinance to amend the law drafted by the Manmohan Singh government. The disqualification came the day after a Surat court convicted Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi was given the option to "apologise", but he refused. The Congress had called the verdict "infirm, erroneous and unsustainable".
