After Jaya Bachchan’s disqualification, the BJP today said Congress chief Sonia Gandhi also attracted disqualification as Lok Sabha member by virtue of her being chairperson of the National Advisory Council (NAC) on implementation of Common Minimum Programme.
“Prima facie, Sonia Gandhi’s position as chairperson of the National Advisory Council too attracts provisions of disqualification under the Constitution,” BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar told newspersons here.
“Jaya Bachchan’s disqualification is in accordance with the law. We will now be verifying Sonia Gandhi’s position as chairperson of the NAC on the same lines,” Mr Javadekar said.
