New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi's conviction and disqualification from Lok Sabha was out of a deep flaw in law and needed to be corrected, senior Congress leader Anand Sharma said on Wednesday. According to him, it will be a 'litmus test' for India's Judiciary, PTI reported.

Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters, the senior party spokesperson said it "is deeply flawed in law and in the Constitution".

"If the same yardstick were to be applied, perhaps the Indian Parliament would have been hollowed out. Most major leaders of political parties would have been out of Parliament for decades. That has not happened," he said.

"This will be a litmus test for the Indian judiciary too. I have no doubt that what is wrong will be corrected, a flawed decision in law will be reversed, and I say that of my understanding in law and Constitution," Sharma said.

When he was asked about himself occupying a government accommodation, he replied that he had not flouted any rules and regulations and had been paying the market rent as per the rules laid down by the Parliament.

A surat court convicted Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case and gave two-year sentence in jail. After that, he was disqualified from Parliament as a Lok Sabha MP who represented Kerala's Wayanad.

The Lok Sabha Secretariat has asked Gandhi to vacate his official bungalow at Tughlaq Road by April 22.
