New Delhi: The Union Cabinet is likely to consider an ordinance on Tuesday seeking to reverse the Supreme Court judgement to disqualify convicted MPs and MLAs.
The ordinance will allow convicted MPs/MLAs to continue in office, if the appeal against the conviction is admitted by a higher court within 90 days. But the MPs/MLAs will not draw salaries and vote pending the appeal. Barring the Communist Party of India (CPI) and Biju Janata Dal (BJD), all other political parties are on board of the ordinance.
