When a delegation from the BJP met the Honourable President to protest the Ordinance, Pranab da’s take was quite contrary to his previous avatar. He spoke to Kapil Sibal and Sushil Kumar Shinde in the presence of the BJP leaders and told them about his views saying that such an Ordinance will hurt the sentiments of the Supreme Court and a situation of face-off may arise between the executive and the judiciary. Thus, Dada said it clearly that he will be sending back the Ordinance to the government without signing it. The minute the President’s intentions were known to the Baba party, they wrote a new script for the crown prince.
