BJP tonight asked President Pranab Mukherjee not to sign the "unconstitutional" ordinance aimed at protecting convicted MPs and MLAs from facing immediate disqualification.
Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj tweeted that her party was opposed to the ordinance approved by the union cabinet and "we request the President not to sign this ordinance".
"President is not obliged to sign an ordinance that is unconstitutional", she said in her post on the social network site.
