NewsX: We had put pressure on president that paid off, says BJP

Convicted legislators, MPs and ministers Wednesday noon after ending the core-committee meet.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in this regard met to President Pranab mukherjee before his leaving to country for his official European tour, and briefed him about the cabinet's decision to withdraw the ordinance that has defied the Supreme Court's order regarding convicted ministers, MPs and MLAs.

However, the final announcement is yet to come and there is a chance that it will come after ending the union cabinet meet, set to be held at 6:00 p.m. today.
