But reversing its earlier step, the Cabinet on October 2 decided to withdraw the Ordinance as well as Bill in the wake of public outburst against it by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi.
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”.
President Pranab Mukherjee had also questioned the government's decision on the ordinance.
