Kapil Sibal attacked
Rajya Sabha MP and lawyer Kapil Sibal has given a big reaction to Justice Yadav’s statement. He said on Justice Yadav’s statement that this is a matter of breaking India. He said that even politicians do not say such things. He is sitting on the post of protecting the Constitution. These words do not suit him. He asked in a questioning tone that how is a judge appointed who gives such statements? How do people dare to give such statements?
Taking a dig at the Modi government, Kapil Sibal said that why is this happening only in the last 10 years? There are some people who give such statements and resign and join BJP. After this they become Rajya Sabha members. I think the Supreme Court should take strict action in such cases. That person should not be allowed to sit on the chair. Not a single case should go to him.
Preparation to bring impeachment
Kapil Sibal has said that action is being taken in the case of Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav. He said that discussions have been held with Digvijay Singh, Vivek Tankha, Javed Ali, Mohan Jha, CPM party etc. We will meet soon. We will bring an impeachment motion against the judge. We have no other option left. He said that all those who believe in the independence of the judiciary will join us.
Kapil Sibal has also talked about support from the central government and the ruling party in this matter. He said that those who support such statements cannot be well-wishers of the independence of the judiciary. Therefore, everyone should support our proposal.
