The rise and fall of the bill and ordinance on convicted MPs Empty The rise and fall of the bill and ordinance on convicted MPs

The credit for the withdrawal of ordinance and bill on convicted MPs should ultimately go to the anti-corruption movement (for an effective LokPal bill) by Anna Hazare and Civil Society members during the past few years.

This episode also proves that Rajya Sabha or the Upper House of Parliament (which had passed this bill earlier) is a completely useless institution and waste of money and therefore it should be abolished.

Moreover, the Govt. / Cabinet does not seem to know the difference between right and wrong, because it issued the ordinance favoring the bill, after it was stalled in Lok Sabha after being passed by Rajya Sabha. Later on, when others (Mr. Gandhi and the Opposition) made noise against Govt's ordinance, the Govt. withdrew it finally.

I don't think so...The real credit needs to go to the Supreme Court for imposing a very commonsensical rule.

The ordinance had support from both Congress and BJP, but the media took action and people protested.  Then BJP changed their position, followed by Roul Gandhi.  Manmohan Singh kept quiet and ended up looking like a dehati aurat.

The courts in India, including the Supreme Court, started acting differently and imposing such rulings mostly after the LokPal movement / fiasco. Before that, the decisions by courts (the SC etc.) were mostly favoring the ruling politicians and in line with the Parliament and Govt.

With Lalu (the original ally of Congress) out of the picture now, accidentally or through design, this also opens the door for Congress and Mr. Rahul Gandhi to make alliance with Nitish Kumar and his party in Bihar in the next parliamentary elections.
