The Cabinet had approved on September 24 the Ordinance which sought to negate the Supreme Court order of July 10 which ruled that any lawmaker would stand immediately disqualified if convicted by a court.
The overturning of the decision came in the wake of Rahul Gandhi's trashing of the Ordinance as “nonsense”. He had said it should be “torn” and “thrown out”.
"The decision of the cabinet was unanimous," Tewari told the media.
"In so far as the bill is concerned, it is the property of parliament," Tewari said. He added that at an appropriate time, it would be taken back.
