Rahul Gandhi gets Tughlaq Lane house back: Sources

New Delhi [India], August 8 (ANI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, whose parliamentary membership has been restored following a directive of the Supreme Court, has been re-allotted the 12, Tughlaq Lane bungalow, party sources said on Tuesday.
“Rahul Gandhi has got an official confirmation from the Estate office for the allotment of a bungalow to him as an MP in Delhi,” the sources said.

According to the source, the Congress leader is yet to decide on the official confirmation of getting his earlier residence back.  
“For now, he has been offered 12, Tughlak Lane, his earlier residence, but he is yet to decide on it,” the source said.

The Congress MP has eight days to respond to this.
“Mera ghar poora Hindustan hai," (the whole country is my home), the Congress leader responded to reporters who asked him about the development on Tuesday.
The House Committee of the Lok Sabha has decided to allot the same bungalow he was asked to vacate after Gandhi was disqualified as a member of the lower house on March 24 as a result of his conviction and a two-year jail term awarded to him for the 'Modi surname' remarks.
On Monday, the Lok Sabha Secretariat restored Gandhi's membership of the lower house after the Supreme Court stayed his conviction in the defamation case.
The move to vacate the bungalow had come a day after Surat Session's Court pronounced an order on April 20 on his interim application for a stay on his conviction in the defamation case.
Gandhi has since then moved into former Congress President Sonia Gandhi's 10 Janpath Road residence. (ANI)
