Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju seeks apology from Rahul Gandhi over remarks on Judiciary, EC

 

On Wednesday, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju demanded an unconditional apology from Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on judiciary and Election Commission, & said that he doesn't take the Congress leader seriously, "but because he spoke in House, he should tender an apology."

Speaking with the news agency, the Union Law Minister said, "I personally don't take Rahul Gandhi seriously. But because he's a leader of his political party & has spoken these words on the Floor of the House, I've to take note of this. He has to come before House & he has to tender an unconditional apology to all courts and EC."

 

Claiming that the remark will "go on as a black spot", Rijiju 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."

Rijiju reiterated, "To accuse & 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".

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday attacked the BJP-led government in Lok Sabha stating that "institutions of our country are being attacked & captured by one idea" & "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, Gandhi accused the Centre of having a "flawed vision" & centralising power. He said, "the idea of king has come back".
