Thursday, 14 December 2023 The Supreme Court suspended the conviction of former BSP MP Afzal Ansari in a 2007 Gangsters Act case, allowing him to regain his membership in Parliament. Ansari was convicted under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act. The court ruled that Ansari can attend parliamentary proceedings but cannot vote or receive any perks. The court also directed the Allahabad High Court to decide on Ansari's appeal by June 30, 2024. One justice dissented from the majority verdict and denied Ansari's plea for a stay of conviction.

Rahul Gandhi, addressing the Indian diaspora in Dallas, claimed that fear of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi has dissipated since the recent Lok Sabha election. He referenced his post-election Parliament speech mentioning 'Abhayamudra', a symbol of fearlessness in Indian religions. Gandhi asserted that the BJP couldn't comprehend this concept. He emphasized that the diminished fear of the ruling party was not his or Congress's achievement, but a significant accomplishment of the Indian people recognizing democracy's power.
