New Delhi, Dec 16: Congress MP Manish Tewari raised questions on Friday over Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju’s recent remarks on the Supreme Court and asked if the government is trying to “orchestrate” a confrontation with the judiciary.
“The law minister of the country recently gave a statement, saying the Supreme Court should not hear frivolous PILs and bail applications. He further went on to say that Supreme Court judges take too many vacations and then questioned the process of appointments to the higher judiciary,” the Congress leader said during the Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha.
Latching on to Rijiju’s remarks, he asked, “Does this government believe in Article 21 (protection of life and personal liberty)? Is this government trying to orchestrate a confrontation with the judiciary?” (PTI)
