New Delhi, Oct 22: A day after Union Cabinet decided to accord statutory powers to the Central Pota Review Committee, Congress today expressed dissatisfaction over the "patchwork amendment" and demanded a review of the "draconian" legislation. "We are opposed to the legislation in principle. What has been offered is 'too little too late'. We don't think a patchwork amendment will do. What is needed is an overhaul, a review of the draconian legislation," party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters.
He said the government's move has vindicated the Congress position that provisions of Pota would be misused.
