Rahul Gandhi, Lawmaker Critical of Narendra Modi, Reinstated to Indian Parliament
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In India, opposition Congress Party leader Rahul Gandhi has been
reinstated to Parliament after the Supreme Court suspended his
defamation conviction. Gandhi was suspended and sentenced to two years
in prison in March for criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The
suspension of the case means Gandhi will be able to run against Modi in
the 2024 elections.
