New Delhi:
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s comments against the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of India were “highly irresponsible”, reduce the authority of the court and intervene in judicial proceedings before today, the apex court said today. The judges, however, demanded a petition to take action against him, saying, “The courts are not as delicate as flowers to shock and wilt under such terrible statements”.
During an interview last month, Mr. Dubey created a major controversy with his negative comments about the country’s top court and its supreme judge. “Chief Justice of India Sanjeev Khanna is responsible for all the civil wars to be held in India,” he said. “For provoking a religious war in this country, only and only the Supreme Court is responsible,” he also said.
India’s Chief Justice Sanjeev Khanna said, “His comments reflect a penchet to draw attention by attracting aspirations on the Supreme Court and Supreme Court judges of India.”
In addition, his statement reflects the role of constitutional courts and ignorance of the duties and obligations given to him under the Constitution, the judges said.
“We do not believe that the trust and credibility of the courts in the view of the public can be shaken by such absurd statements, although it can be said without a shadow of doubt that there is a desire and deliberate attempt to do so … Therefore, we avoid any action,” the court said.
However, the judges generally overshadowed the disgusting speech.
*When we are not entertaining the current writ petition, we make it clear that any attempt to spread communal hatred or indulged in hate speech should be dealt with with an iron hand, “the court said.
“The abusive language cannot be tolerated as it leads to the dignity and loss of self-value of the target group members, contributes to disagreement between groups, and eradicates tolerance and open mind, committed to the idea of equality for a multi-cultural society.
