Lok Sabha Housing Committee notice to Rahul Gandhi to vacate bungalow

Days after his disqualification as MP following a Surat court’s verdict in a criminal defamation case, Housing Committee of Lok Sabha has sent Congress leader Rahul Gandhi a notice to vacate government bungalow allotted to him, sources said.

They said Rahul Gandhi has been asked to vacate 12, Tughlaq Lane in the national capital. Rahul Gandhi has been given a period of 30 days to vacate the premises to avoid eviction, the sources said.

Congress workers have held protests in different parts of the country following Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification.

The party has attacked the Modi government on the issue and said that it will fight the matter legally and politically.

The court verdict, which came last week, related to Rahul Gandhi’s Modi surname remarks made during an election rally in April 2019 in Karnataka.

The court approved Gandhi’s bail on a surety and stayed the sentence for 30 days to allow him to approach the higher courts.
