The issue surrounding the parliamentary status of Congress leader Rahul
Gandhi has taken a new turn as Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla finds himself at
the center of the decision-making process. Questions were raised regarding
Rahul Gandhi’s membership in the Lok Sabha after he was appointed as the
President of the Congress party. According to the Representation of the
People Act, an individual cannot simultaneously hold the membership of both
Houses of Parliament. As a result, Rahul Gandhi’s position as a Member of
Parliament is being scrutinized. The final decision rests with the Lok
Sabha Speaker, who will need to examine the legal and constitutional
aspects before arriving at a verdict.
