NEW DELHI: Holding that the ordinance on convicted MPs and MLAs has created discontentment among people, Aam Aadmi Party leaders on Friday met President Pranab Mukherjee and requested him to sent it back to the government for reconsideration.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders including national convener Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay bhushan and Prashant Bhusan met Mukherjee and submitted a memorandum on the issue.

Addressing the media after the meeting, Kejriwal said, "We have informed the President that the Supreme Court has struck down a section of Representation of People's Act terming it unconstitutional, then how the government can bring the same section through an Ordinance.
