New Delhi: The Union Cabinet is meeting on October 2 to take a call on possible withdrawal of the controversial Ordinance on convicted lawmakers, whose fate appears to have already been sealed after Rahul Gandhi's strong denunciation of the measure.
Government sources said today that a meeting of the Union Cabinet has been convened on October 2 to deliberate on the Ordinance that seeks to protect convicted lawmakers by circumventing a Supreme Court order.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has forced the Congress to have a relook at the Ordinance after he called it a “complete nonsense” and said that it should be “torn up and thrown away.”
The Ordinance is currently before President Pranab Mukherjee who is leaving on a foreign tour on October 2.
