New Delhi: The political storm over the blunt attack by Rahul Gandhi on the Ordinance on convicted lawmakers refused to subside with BJP insisting Saturday that the dignity of the Prime Minister's office has been "destroyed" and Congress maintaining it is "healthy for democracy".
As the Congress sought to project a united front, a day after Rahul attacked the government over the Ordinance, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, whose National Conference (NC) is an ally of the party, sought a meeting of UPA Coordination Committee to discuss the controversial ordinance threadbare.
"I think time has come that a meeting of the Coordination Committee should be called where all the constituents of UPA be taken into confidence and the misunderstandings which have been created regarding this Ordinance and a situation which has been created publicly, that needs to be set right privately in a closed room," he told reporters in Srinagar.
Union minister Milind Deora termed the Congress Vice President's criticism of the controversial ordinance that protects convicted lawmakers "healthy for democracy" and said there was nothing wrong in accepting and rectifying an error.
