GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 3rd Feb. Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju sought an unconditional apology from Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on judiciary and Election Commission. Rijiju said that he doesn’t take the Congress leader seriously, “but because he spoke in the House, he should tender an apology.”
The Union Law Minister Rijiju said, “I personally don’t take Rahul Gandhi seriously. But because he’s a leader of his political party and has spoken these words on the Floor of the House, I’ve to take note of this. He has to come before the House and he has to tender an unconditional apology to all courts and EC.”
Claiming that the statement will “go on as a black spot”, the Law Minister said, “I feel that whatever he said about the Indian judiciary will go on as a black spot because nobody has spoken such a thing about the Indian judiciary. People of India may have problems but everybody has faith in the judiciary.”
“To accuse and abuse the judiciary from the Floor of the Parliament House is beyond my words of condemnation. He should immediately tender an unconditional apology before the people of India, to the Indian judiciary and the EC,” Rijiju added.
Notably, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday targeted the BJP-led government in Lok Sabha and said that “institutions of our country are being attacked and captured by one idea” and “the judiciary, the Election Commission, Pegasus, are all instruments of destroying the voice of the union of states”.
Participating in the debate on the motion of thanks on the President’s Address, Rahul Gandhi accused the Centre of having a “flawed vision” and centralising power. Gandhi had said, “the idea of king has come back”.
