Congress MPs Wear Black To Protest Against Rahul Gandhi’s Disqualification

Congress members wore black to Parliament in protest of Rahul Gandhi's removal from the Lok Sabha today. Several opposition figures chose to wear black in addition to the Congress Members. Meanwhile, opposition members gathered in the Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge's chamber earlier in the day to discuss a joint agenda in the House.

In the Lok Sabha, Congress MPs moved an adjournment notice against Rahul Gandhi's disqualification, while in the Rajya Sabha, opposition MPs moved a suspension of business notice in the Hindenburg issue and misuse of probe agencies against political leaders.

Opposition MPs protest near Gandhi statue in Parliament, wearing black attire, over Adani Group issue. Congress president Rajya Sabha LoP Mallikarjun Kharge and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi also join the protest, as quoted by ANI.

Congress MP Manish Tewari on Monday moved an adjournment notice in the Lok Sabha which said: "That this House does suspend Zero Hour and other businesses of the day to discuss the disqualification of Shri Rahul Gandhi.

"The disqualification of Shri Rahul Gandhi from the membership of the House was a hasty and erroneous decision and not in consonance with the provisions of the Constitution of India.
