The cat is out of the bag: BJP

"The cat is out of the bag," was the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party's response to the government's decision to reconvene Parliament session from May 10.

"Both the Houses are being convened from May 10 to consider the balance agenda. If this had to be done, why then did the Parliament have to be adjourned sine die instead of adjourning it till May 10 as was planned earlier," party General Secretary Arun Jaitely told PTI .

"The cat is out of the bag. It is clear the government wanted to bring an ordinance on the office of profit issue by abruptly adjourning the Parliament sine die," he said, adding, "Now that the issue has become hot property, they have convened the session again."     

Asked whether the BJP would support any legislation aimed at exempting parliamentarians holding office of profit from disqualification, he said, "Let them show the bill. We will consider it."
