Ordinance not meant to save Lalu: Congress


New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS): The Congress Monday said the ordinance meant to overrule a Supreme Court ruling on disqualifying MPs and state legislators convicted of crime was not meant to save RJD leader Lalu Prasad.

Rashid Alvi of the Congress said the party respected the ruling of a special court convicting Lalu Prasad in the fodder scam.

"To think that the ordinance was brought to save a particular person is wrong," said Alvi.

The quantum of punishment in the fodder scam case will be announced Thursday.

The fate of the ordinance is uncertain after Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi called it "complete nonsense" and said it should be "torn up and thrown away".
