Former Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi today paid a visit to the Parliament House complex days after he was disqualified as a Lok Sabha member. The former Congress president visited the party's office in the Parliament House complex and met some members there. According to reports, Rahul Gandhi stayed in the party office for around 20 minutes and met Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut among other leaders. A video of his Parliament visit was shared by the news agency PTI on its Twitter handle.
