PM to consult Cabinet after Rahul's shocker on ordinance protecting convicted lawmakers
by Seva Lamberdar Fri Sep 27, 2013 12:33 pm
NEW DELHI/WASHINGTON: An unexpected and blunt attack by Rahul Gandhi on Friday on the ordinance to protect convicted lawmakers caused political tremors with his description of it as "complete nonsense" being seen as sharp criticism of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Using tough language, Rahul made a rare and dramatic appearance before journalists to denounce the ordinance as "complete nonsense" and a document that "should be torn up and thrown away".
Rahul's strong criticism during an unscheduled media interaction at Delhi's Press Club took place while the Prime Minister was sleeping in his suite in a Washington hotel, hours before his meeting with President Barack Obama.
In a brief reaction later, the Prime Minister said in Washington that the ordinance cleared by the Cabinet has been a matter of much public debate. Rahul had written to him on the issue and also made a statement.
"The government is seized of all these developments. The issues raised will be considered on my return to India after due deliberations in the Cabinet," he said in a statement.
With Rahul taking a public stand against it and writing to the Prime Minister, there is little doubt that the fate of the ordinance, now before President Pranab Mukherjee, is sealed.
The Congress vice-president said "what our government has done as far as this ordinance is concerned is wrong", although at one point he mentioned that it was his personal opinion.
The controversial ordinance, approved recently by the Union Cabinet presided over by Singh, seeks to prevent immediate disqualification of convicted MPs and MLAs and negate a Supreme Court judgment on this. The President too appears to have reservations about it.
There was little doubt that Rahul's statement came as a surprise to Singh. PM's aides were woken up by journalists for a reaction which came some hours later.
The Congress immediately fell in line with Rahul's view on the ordinance with several ministers endorsing it although sources said that the decision to promulgate an ordinance was taken days ago at the highest levels in the party. ....

>>> Good for Rahul Gandhi to speak against this nonsensical ordinance which shouldn't have been approved by Singh and others in the first place.
