KT Rama Rao condemns Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification as Lok Sabha MP

In a rare moment of solidarity between the BRS and the Congress, Telangana IT minister KTR on Friday condemned the call to disqualify Senior Leader Rahul Gandhi as a Lok Sabha MP after his conviction in a criminal defamation case from 2019.

“Disqualification of @RahulGandhi Ji is a blatant misinterpretation of Constitution The hastiness showed in this issue



is highly undemocratic I condemn this!” he tweeted along with a quote from French philosopher Voltaire on Freedom of Expression and ‘First they came..’ poem written by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller on Nazi Germany.

By condemning the disqualification, KTR joined many other opposition leaders from across country who spoke up against the development.
