Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Tuesday took a swipe at Law Minister Kiren Rijiju over his remarks that the government has not taken a single step to undermine the judiciary, asking whether his “controversial statements” were meant to strengthen it.
Sibal tweeted,
Rijiju: Another gem
“The Modi government has not taken a single step to undermine the judiciary…”
Are all your controversial statements meant to strengthen the judiciary ?
You might believe it.
We lawyers don’t.— Kapil Sibal (@KapilSibal) January 24, 2023
Sibal’s remarks come a day after Rijiju said there can be a difference of opinion between the government and the judiciary but that does not mean the two are attacking each other and a “Mahabharat” is going on.
Addressing a gathering at the Tis Hazari courts complex here to mark Republic Day, Rijiju said the Modi government has not taken a single step to undermine the judiciary.
