The former Congress president has been reinstated as an MP more than four months after his disqualification. Upon returning, he paid respects to Mahatma Gandhi's statue at Parliament House and briefly attended Lok Sabha proceedings before an adjournment.

Congress and opposition MPs warmly welcomed Gandhi back to Parliament. His disqualification was lifted based on a Supreme Court order that stayed his conviction. This restoration of membership was celebrated at the AICC headquarters.

Gandhi's return to the Lok Sabha comes in time for the upcoming debate on a no-confidence motion. He was previously disqualified due to a defamation case conviction, which was overturned by the Supreme Court.

Representing Wayanad, Gandhi's reinstatement has been hailed as a victory for truth and justice.
