NEW DELHI, March 17: Jaya Bachchan, a popular movie star and member of the upper house of parliament, has been disqualified as MP. The move came after President Abdul Kalam accepted the election commission’s recommendation for her disqualification.
The disqualification was sought on grounds that Ms Bachchan was holding an office of profit as chairperson of the UP Film Development Corporation. The president consulted legal experts before the decision.
