Congress on Tuesday rejected criticism on the issue of an ordinance to protect convicted MPs and MLAs from facing immediate disqualification, saying such a measure is "not a backdoor method" as it has to go to Parliament.
"Ordinance is not an undemocratic act by any government. It is not a backdoor method. It has to have the nod of Parliament. It will go before Parliament in the very next session," party spokesperson PC Chacko told reporters in New Delhi.
The government is likely to consider an ordinance to protect convicted MPs and MLAs from facing immediate disqualification after having failed to get a Bill to this effect passed in Parliament.
