The papers for reinstating Congress leader Gandhi as a Member of Parliament are ready and sent to Speaker On Birla’s office. All that remains is a sign-off from the Lok Sabha Speaker.

Sources in Speaker’s office confirmed to CNN News 18 that they have received Rahul Gandhi’s application for reinstating and a court order copy but the decision will be taken after deliberation.

However, Congress is keen that Gandhi takes part in the debate before the no-confidence motion being brought against Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government on Tuesday, August 8. The grand old party has alleged that the Speaker and government are deliberately delaying reinstating Gandhi as MP.
