Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], April 20 (ANI): Criticising BJP MP Nishikant Dubey for his “controversial” remarks on the Supreme Court, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) spokesperson Manoj Pandey said that the dictatorship in the country has reached such a level where a Parliamentarian is now seen challenging the courts.
JMM spokesperson on Saturday urged the judiciary to take action against Dubey while calling Godda MP’s remark “unfortunate”.
Speaking to ANI, Pandey said, “The dictatorship in the nation has reached such a level that now a member of parliament is challenging the court…Are these people more learned than the judges? Will they do anything in the darkness of the majority, and will the courts stay silent?… When the courts give decisions in their favour, they say that the judiciary is the third pillar of democracy.”
“The court should take action against him. This is very unfortunate,” he added.
Meanwhile, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi also criticised Dubey’s remarks and alleged that BJP members had become so radicalised that they were now threatening the judiciary.
“You people (BJP) are tubelights…threatening the court in such a way. Do you even know what Article 142 is? It was framed by BR Ambedkar,” Owaisi said while referencing the Constitutional provision that empowers the Supreme Court to deliver complete justice in any matter before it.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey alleged that the Supreme Court was “inciting religious wars” and questioned its authority, suggesting that the Parliament building should be closed if the apex court was to make laws.
“The top court has only one aim: ‘Show me the face, and I will show you the law’. The Supreme Court is going beyond its limits. If one has to go to the Supreme Court for everything, then Parliament and State Assembly should be shut,” Dubey told ANI.
Referring to past court decisions, Dubey criticised the judiciary for its handling of issues like the decriminalisation of homosexuality and religious disputes.
“There was an Article 377 in which homosexuality was a big crime. The Trump administration has said that there are only two sexes in this world, either male or female…Whether it is Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh, all believe that homosexuality is a crime. One fine morning, the Supreme Court said that we should abolish this case…Article 141 says that the laws we make, the judgments we give, are applicable from the lower court to the Supreme Court. Article 368 states that Parliament has the authority to enact all laws, and the Supreme Court has the power to interpret the law. The top court is asking the President and Governor to tell them what they have to do regarding the Bills. When the Ram Mandir, Krishna Janmabhoomi, or Gyanvapi issue arises, you (SC) say, ‘Show us the paper’. Mughals ke aane ke baad jo Masjid banne hai unke liye keh raho ho paper kaha se dikhao,” he added.
Dubey further alleged that the Supreme Court want to take this country towards “anarchy.”
“How can you give direction to the appointing authority? The President appoints the Chief Justice of India. The Parliament makes the law of this country. You will dictate that Parliament?… How did you make a new law? In which law is it written that the President has to make a decision within three months? This means that you want to take this country towards anarchy. When the Parliament sits, there will be a detailed discussion on this,” he said. (ANI)
