Gandhi Vows to Continue Fighting Despite Disqualification and Political Motivations.

TL;DR
Rahul Gandhi, leader of India's Congress party, has vowed to continue fighting for democracy after being stripped of his parliamentary seat due to a defamation conviction over a remark made about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Gandhi's removal from parliament comes at a time when Modi's relationship with powerful industrialist Gautam Adani has been under scrutiny, with Congress demanding a proper investigation into allegations of corporate fraud. Gandhi is the scion of India's most famous political dynasty but has struggled to challenge Modi's BJP and its nationalist appeal.
