Know the opposition’s reaction on Nishikant’s statement
- Congress MP Jairam Ramesh It was said, the Supreme Court is being intentionally targeted because on many issues like electoral bonds, the Supreme Court has said that what the government has done is unconstitutional.
- Congress leader Salman Khurshid It was said, if an MP questions the Supreme Court or any court, it is very sad. The final decision in our judicial system is not of the government but of the Supreme Court. If anyone does not understand this, then it is very sad.
- AAP spokes Priyanka Kakkar Said, he (Nishikant Dubey) has given a very poor statement. I hope that tomorrow the Supreme Court will start contempt proceedings by taking automatic cognizance against BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and will send him to jail.
- Supreme Court Former judge Ashok Kumar Ganguly It was said, according to Article 53 of the Constitution, the President should work according to the Constitution, if it is not, then the Supreme Court can direct the President. There is nothing wrong in this. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar needs to understand that no one is above the law.
