After Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from Lok Sabha as a Member of Parliament, party leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday shared remarks from various newspapers through a clip, alleging that Rahul Gandhi was "deliberately disqualified" and said that every corner of the world hears the voice of India.
Sharing a clip from various newspapers on Twitter, highlighting Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as a member of Lok Sabha, Tharoor said, "They tried to silence a voice. Now every corner of the world hears the voice of India."
Gandhi, representing Wayanad parliamentary constituency in Kerala, was on Friday disqualified from the Lok Sabha, a day after his conviction in a defamation case by a court in Surat in Gujarat.
The court sentenced Gandhi to two years in jail in a criminal defamation case over his 'Modi surname' remarks at a 2019 poll rally in Karnataka.
However, the court also granted him bail and suspended the sentence for 30 days to allow him to appeal in a higher court.
