internally before being discussed out in the open. His expression of displeasure was evident even when he came out after the meeting. Although he refused to say anything on the Bill, the results were showing clearly on his face.

Manish Tewari, however, confirmed saying that the Bill and the Ordinance have been trashed in a media conference after the meeting.
