Kapil Sibal’s dig at Rijiju – The Dispatch

New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Tuesday took a swipe at Regulation Minister Kiren Rijiju over his remarks that the federal government has not taken a single step to undermine the judiciary, asking whether or not his “controversial statements” had been meant to strengthen it.

Sibal’s remarks come a day after Rijiju mentioned there is usually a distinction of opinion between the federal government and the judiciary however that doesn’t imply the 2 are attacking one another and a “Mahabharat” is happening.

Addressing a gathering on the Tis Hazari courts advanced right here to mark Republic Day, Rijiju mentioned the Modi authorities has not taken a single step to undermine the judiciary.

Reacting to the remarks, Sibal tweeted, “Rijiju: One other gem. ‘The Modi authorities has not taken a single step to undermine the judiciary…’.” “Are all of your (Rijiju) controversial statements meant to strengthen the judiciary,” the previous regulation minister requested.

“You would possibly imagine it. We legal professionals don’t,” the senior advocate mentioned. (PTI)
