New Delhi: Today, the government withdrew the ordinance that had been filed to overturn the Supreme Court verdict. The Supreme Court has said that MPs and state legislators will be disqualified from office if they are convicted in criminal cases. Union cabinet has unanimously decided to withdraw the ordinance as well as the bill. This sends a message that UPA has a government which is not authoritative. Manish Tewari 02/10/2013 I have told my opinion on the ordinance earlier itself. If a mistake is committed, there is nothing wrong in rectifying it. Nitish Kumar 02/10/2013 It is better late than never for the Congress Rajnath Singh 02/10/2013 When PM is overruled by person half his age, it demeans his position. Sad day for democracy if ordinance withdrawn because of one person's objections. Arun Jaitley 02/10/2013 We are glad we found one supporter for our opposition to the ordinance. Sitaram Yechury 02/10/2013 At least someone raised their voice, a decision was taken for the good of the country. Ajit Singh 02/10/2013 On Rahul: The way he reacted was very strange. Shows something wrong in Congress decision-making structure Prakash Karat: 02/10/2013 Nobody can complain about Rahul's comment that ordinance ill-advised. It's his manner of doing it that people complained about. Pinaki mishra 02/10/2013 People are saying cabinet and prime minister are insulted but no it is not so. Party's decision will be superior than government's decision always. Rashid Alvi 02/10/2013 It was because of our opposition that the Bill was referred to the Standing Committee. And when the Ordinance was promulgated, we voiced our opposition on day one and requested the President not to sign the Ordinance. We said the Ordinance was immoral, illegal and unconstitutional. We opposed the Bill. We opposed the Ordinance. What Cong is spreading since morning is complete falsehood.
