Rahul's opposition to ordinance a 'farce', PM should quit: BJP

Allahabad:  Describing as a “farce” Rahul Gandhi's opposition to the ordinance on convicted lawmakers, BJP today said his concern at this juncture gives rise to “serious doubts” as he did not utter “a single word”

“If the ordinance is withdrawn, the credit will go to the public outcry against the move aimed at overturning a Supreme Court order against tainted lawmakers.  



“The BJP has been giving voice to the people's anger against corruption inside Parliament as well as on other forums. Rahul Gandhi's stance on the issue is just a farce,” the BJP's Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha said.  

The former Union minister, however, claimed that “the way Gandhi went about calling the ordinance a nonsense, and that it deserved to be torn and thrown away, is an undisguised insult to the Prime Minister.

“We have been an opposition party and though we may have opposed many decisions of the PM, we have taken care not to ridicule the high office”.
