Rahul Gandhi, the top opposition figure in India, has vowed to keep fighting for democracy after being stripped of his seat in parliament on Saturday. Gandhi lost his MP status after being sentenced to 2 years in prison for defamation on Friday following comments he made about PM Narendra Modi in 2019, but he’s blamed his expulsion on his demands for an investigation into Gautam Adani. He’s a key ally of Modi’s and oversees a huge conglomerate that was accused of decades of stock manipulation and accounting fraud earlier this year – claims the company denies. The disqualification means Gandhi cannot participate in next year’s national elections unless he is acquitted or his sentence is suspended. Gandhi’s family is political royalty in India, but his once-dominant Congress party is in decline. Opposition parties concerned about Modi’s power move are planning protests in the coming days.
