New Delhi: Congress today dubbed the Union Cabinet's decision of recommending re-issuance of the Land ordinance as a "travesty of justice" and an "affront to Parliament".
"It is an affront to Parliament which refused to put its stamp of approval. Duplicity of Prime Minister stands exposed as he had only yesterday said that his government is open to reviewing the anti-farmer land ordinance", Congress' communication department in-charge Randeep Surjewala said.
Congress, he said, condemns this "sinister design" of the Modi Government to "surreptitiously push through" the Land ordinance after agreeing to get it re-examined through a Joint Committee of Parliament.
He demanded that the government desist from the move and "apologise to the nation for its subversive designs".
The Congress reaction came after the Union Cabinet recommended re-issuance of the Ordinance for the third time.
