Office-of-Profit Bill: BJP to approach court

Times of India
CHANDIGARH: A day after the Parliament gave its approval to the Office-of-Profit Bill, the BJP on Tuesday said it would challenge the Bill in the court.
"The BJP will challenge the Bill in a competent court of law," BJP's legal cell convenor Satyapal Jain told reporters. ...
...Describing the passage of Bill despite observations made by the President, Jain alleged that UPA Government had "conveniently side tracked the president."
The action of the Government amount to putting seal of Parliament on "loots of some MPs," he said adding that the BJP was of the firm opinion that the MPs and MLAs should not be allowed to hold any Office of profit.
