Rahul Gandhi's dramatic declaration on Friday that an ordinance hurriedly pushed by the government to protect convicted MPs and MLAs is "complete nonsense," has put Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in an embarrassing spot while away in the US. Mr Gandhi suggested that the ordinance "should be torn up and thrown away." Commenting on Mr Gandhi's remarks, senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley told NDTV that "if undermined like this, the Prime Minister will not even be a footnote in history."
