Left red-faced and embarrassed the Bharatiya Janata Party in a hurried damage control quickly distanced itself from party leaders Nishikant Dubey’s and Dinesh Sharma’s comments against the judiciary and said the leaders have been warned against making such statements. BJP president J.P. Nadda said the party has always respected the judiciary.
Nadda’s clarification after a massive outrage over BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s comment when he said accused the apex court of “inciting religious wars” in the country. Terming the SC’s action as “anarchy”, Dubey said, “Supreme Court is responsible for inciting religious wars in the country…If one has to go to the Supreme Court for everything, then Parliament and State Assembly should be shut.”
Dubey had also alleged that CJI Khanna was responsible for “civil wars” in the country. Sharma, a former deputy chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, was also critical of the Supreme Court, saying no one could direct Parliament or the president.
“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 such statements nor does it ever support such statements,” said Nadda in a post on X, completely rejecting the statements.
Nadda took to X and wrote
भाजपा सांसद निशिकांत दुबे और दिनेश शर्मा का न्यायपालिका एवं देश के चीफ जस्टिस पर दिए गए बयान से भारतीय जनता पार्टी का कोई लेना–देना नहीं है। यह इनका व्यक्तिगत बयान है, लेकिन भाजपा ऐसे बयानों से न तो कोई इत्तेफाक रखती है और न ही कभी भी ऐसे बयानों का समर्थन करती है। भाजपा इन बयान…

The opposition took no time to slam Dubey for his comments , Congress General Secretary in charge of Communications and senior leader Jairam Ramesh Tweeted
The distancing of the outgoing BJP President from the atrocious remarks made by 2 BJP MPs on the Chief Justice of India carries little meaning. These MPs are repeat offenders when it comes to hate speech and are very often used by G2 to attack communities, institutions, and…

TMC MP Mahua Moitra who had a bitter feud with Dubey when she was expelled from parliament too reacted sharply on X
Remember – a pitbull does nothing without its master’s command. Glad entire country is watching @BJP4India proxy attacks on judiciary. Brazen attempt to browbeat bench. India’s lowest hour to be ruled by ignorant bullies.

Congress party spokesperson Pawan Khera had this to say over Dubey’s remarks
भाजपा में बिना मोदी जी की अनुमति के कोई भी सांसद एक शब्द भी नहीं बोल सकता। निशिकांत दुबे ने अगर प्रधान मंत्री के इशारे पर न्यायपालिका पर हमला बोला है तो प्रधानमंत्री देश से माफ़ी माँगें और अगर उनकी सहमति के बिना बोला है तो क्या मोदी जी की पार्टी और सरकार पर पकड़ इतनी ढीली पड गई… https://t.co/sdbf3G7gwg
