New Delhi [India], April 20 (ANI): Congress MP Pramod Tiwari on Sunday lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the remarks of party MP Nishikant Dubey against the Supreme Court.
Tiwari said that the BJP broke all limits of decency and showed that the party did not have faith in democracy.
Speaking to ANI, Tiwari said, "This breaks all limits of decency and shows that the Bharatiya Janata Party does not have faith in democracy... Nothing could have been more difficult for democracy than this. The common man has faith in the Supreme Court. Who are these people who lead every such mission of the Bharatiya Janata Party?... Earlier, the opposition leaders were not allowed to speak in the Vidhan Sabha or Lok Sabha, and opposition MPS were suspended from the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, and laws were passed. Now the judiciary has been treated like a bully."
Meanwhile, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj also lashed out at the BJP MP for his remarks and stated that "people like Nishikant Dubey justify the ideology of the BJP, that they are ready to go against the Supreme Court".
On BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's remarks on the Supreme Court, Saurabh Bharadwaj told ANI, "... The Highest Court gave the judgment on the Ayodhya issue, and everyone accepted it; even Muslims accepted that. What Nishikant Dubey is saying shows that Muslims are ready to accept the Supreme Court's judgement even when the judgement was against them, but people like Nishikant Dubey justify the ideology of the BJP--that they are ready to go against the Supreme Court..."
Meanwhile, the BJP has "completely rejected" and distanced itself from the controversial remarks made by the party MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma on the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of India. The two MPs have also been asked to refrain from making such remarks.
In a post on X on Saturday, BJP National President JP Nadda said, "The Bharatiya Janata Party has nothing to do with the statements made by BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma on the judiciary and the Chief Justice of the country. These are their personal statements, but the BJP neither agrees with nor supports such statements. The BJP completely rejects these statements."
Nadda added, "Bharatiya Janata Party has always respected the judiciary and gladly accepted its orders and suggestions because, as a party, we believe that all the courts of the country, including the Supreme Court, are an integral part of our democracy and are a strong pillar of the protection of the Constitution."
He further said that both MPs and others in the party have been instructed against making similar remarks in the future. "I have instructed both of them and everyone else not to make such statements," he wrote. (ANI)
