Germany weighs in on Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from Parliament

Germany said it expects 'fundamental democratic principles' to apply in the case of the Congress leader. 

Germany has reacted to the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha after his conviction in a defamation case saying "fundamental democratic principles" should apply in the case of the Congress leader.

"We have taken note of the verdict of the first instance against the Indian opposition politician Rahul Gandhi as well as the suspension of his parliamentary mandate. To our knowledge, Mr Gandhi is in a position to appeal the verdict," Germany's foreign ministry spokesperson said during a press briefing

"It will then become clear whether this verdict will stand and whether the suspension of his mandate has any basis," she added.
