Rahul denounces controversial ordinance

In a major embarrassment to the UPA government, Rahul Gandhi today denounced the controversial ordinance to negate the Supreme Court verdict on convicted lawmakers as "complete nonsense" and said what "our government has done is wrong".
Making a surprise brief appearance at a meet-the-press programme of his party's general secretary Ajay Maken at the Press Club here, he said the ordinance should be "torn up and thrown away".
