Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday got back his bungalow in the national capital, a day after he was reinstated as a Lok Sabha member.
After getting back his official residence at 12,Tughlaq Lane, Gandhi said, "Mera ghar poora Hindustan hai", (All of India is my home)."
On Monday, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla had restored the Lok Sabha membership of Gandhi. This move was after the Supreme Court (SC) had stayed his conviction in the Modi surname case.
On March 24, Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha after a Surat court convicted him in a defamation case for a speech made in 2019 during an election rally in Kolar, Karnataka.
During the rally, Gandhi had said: "How come all thieves have Modi as the common surname?"
The court sentenced him to two years in jail, which was the maximum punishment in the case. This led to his disqualification as a member of the Parliament.
