Rijiju on Monday said judges are not elected, so they do not face public scrutiny, but people look at them and judge them by the way they deliver justice.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday accused the BJP-led central government of wanting to “capture” the judiciary and asserted that the public will not allow such a move.
He also termed Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju’s recent remarks on the judicial system as ‘wrong’.
“After illegally capturing all national independent institutions in the country, now they (Centre) want to capture the judiciary. The public will never allow this. Such rhetoric against the judiciary is not right,” Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi, sharing a video of Rijiju’s address.
Addressing a gathering at the Tis Hazari court complex here on Monday on the occasion of Republic Day, Rijiju said that since judges are not elected, they do not face public scrutiny, but people look up to them and look up to them for delivering justice. Let’s assess them in a way.
He had said that there may be differences between the government and the judiciary, but that does not mean that both are attacking each other and Mahabharata is going on, as is being projected by some people.
