Update on this post – The India Government today toes Rahul Gandhi line, dumps 'nonsense' ordinance on convicted MPs, MLAs.
Though I am liberal in my political view, however this one needs to be raised. Today the cabinet will decide whether to push through its odious ordinance that would allow criminal MPs to stay in power. Rahul Gandhi has spoken out and if we deluge PM Singh and key ministers with messages of outrage now we can kill the bill for good.
- 98% of Indian voters want criminals out of politics;
- Congress should hold true to its principles;
- The Cabinet should follow Rahul Gandhi’s suggestion to "tear up and throw away" the ordinance when they meet today.
- It's time to clean up India's politics before the national next election.
Background
Congress is in chaos. Rahul Gandhi has publicly slammed the ordinance which would keep criminals in power, and in hours the cabinet must decide whether to swallow its pride and drop it. Let's send messages now to help Congress hold firm to its traditions and choose swaraj, not cell-raj.
The odious ordinance is a disgraceful dodge to allow criminal and corrupt representatives to cling to power. But public outrage has stopped it in its tracks and now we can kill it for good. 98% of Indians oppose the move and -- with elections just round the corner -- we can make PM Singh and his senior ministers step back from signing Congress's death warrant on Gandhi Jayanti.
Our 13,563 messages last week helped the Gandhis realize they had to oppose the move. Click on the right to write to Singh and key Ministers now, then share this email with everyone to tell the government they should listen to Gandhi and the people, not criminal MPs.
