90 retired officers wrote a letter to the Law Minister, your statements are like an attack on the Supreme Court, judicial independence cannot be compromised

More than 90 retired civil servants wrote an open letter on Thursday opposing the statements of Law Minister Kiren Rijiju. These bureaucrats said that on many occasions the Law Minister made such statements on the collegium system of appointment of judges and judicial independence, which seem to be an attack on the Supreme Court. We condemn the statements made on the appointment of judges, judicial independence and the Supreme Court and judicial independence cannot be compromised.

What was the statement made by the Law Minister?

On March 18, at the India Today Conclave, Kiren Rijiju said, “Some retired judges have almost become a part of the Anti India group. These people try to make the Indian judiciary play the role of the opposition. Those who do such things against the country The price has to be paid for this.

The anti-India forces inside and outside the country use the same language that democracy is in danger. Human rights do not exist in India. Rahul Gandhi also uses the same language that the Anti India group says. This tarnishes the image of India.”

More than 350 lawyers also protested

More than 350 lawyers practicing in the Supreme Court and High Court have also opposed this statement of the Law Minister. A group of lawyers said that such statements do not suit the law minister. He has violated constitutional norms. Criticizing the government is not criticizing the nation, nor is it a seditious activity.
