Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized Kapil Sibal after Sibal stated that the opposition should not support any move by the government to impeach Justice Yashwant Varma until an inquiry is conducted under impeachment proceedings against Justice Shekhar Yadav for his “communal” remarks.
Rijiju’s Criticism of Sibal’s Actions
Rijiju expressed his disapproval of Sibal’s efforts to protect and move against individuals based on personal agendas. He highlighted how Sibal’s focus seemed to be driven by personal motives rather than the broader interest.
Parliamentary Guidance and Responsibility
Rijiju emphasized that Parliament should be guided collectively by all its members and not by the individual agendas of specific MPs. He stressed the importance of working in the country’s best interest rather than personal motives.
Role of Parliament in Judge Removal
Rijiju clarified that Parliament serves as the sole platform for the removal of judges from the Supreme Court or High Courts, emphasizing the democratic process where representatives elected by the people make such crucial decisions.
Kapil Sibal’s vocal stance on the petition for the removal of Justice Shekhar Yadav, along with allegations of government interference in the process, has sparked a debate within the political circles.
