New Delhi: Forced into a corner by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's condemnation of the ordinance to protect convicted lawmakers, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called a meeting of the Union Cabinet on Wednesday where it was decided to withdraw the controversial legislation as well as Bill regarding the same. The Cabinet decision comes following massive public disapproval and Rahul's displeasure calling the ordinance, which had been passed to negate a Supreme Court order that disqualified convicted legislators from the memberships of Parliament Assemblies, a "complete nonsense".


Rahul's remark which is seen as a direct confrontation with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet came at a time when Manmohan Singh was in the Unites States for the UN General Assembly meeting. The timing of the reaction had attracted a lot of criticism from the Opposition leaders as well as the other UPA constituents.
