Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday contradicted his own party and announced that the ordinance on negating the Supreme Court verdict over convicted MLAs and MPs should be 'torn up and thrown away'.
The Congress-led central government had approved an ordinance on Tuesday to reverse an SC judgement that mandated an immediate disqualification of politicians convicted for a criminal offence punishable with more than two years of jail term.
The move, if signed by President Pranab Mukherjee, would have saved Congress Rajya Sabha MP Rashid Masood, who is convicted in a corruption case.
The controversial ordinance would have also been a godsend for Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, whose party is an external ally to the Congress, as a verdict in his fodder scam case is due on 30 September.
