The Lok Sabha Secretariat had sent Rahul Gandhi a notice asking him to vacate the premises by April 22 following his disqualification as MP after his conviction and two-year sentence by a Surat court in a defamation case.
It may be recalled that a local court in Gujarat's Surat recently convicted the Congress leader for a two-year term over an alleged derogatory speech he made ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha election where he asked about ‘how all thieves have Modi surnames.’ His conviction and sentencing led to his disqualification as a member of the Lok Sabha.
A few years ago, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was also asked to vacate her Lodhi Estate bungalow after the SPG cover was removed from her security.
