BJP MPs' Audacity: Accuse Supreme Court of Inciting Civil War In The Country

BJP MP from Godda, Jharkhand, Nishikant Dubey, has said that the Supreme Court is responsible for inciting religious and civil wars in the country. Similarly, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Dinesh Sharma made a comparable remark, asserting that no one can direct the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha as per the Indian Constitution.

These statements have sparked a political uproar, with all opposition parties strongly condemning the remarks of the BJP leaders.

The BJP MP from Godda, Jharkhand, claimed that the Supreme Court and Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna are responsible for any civil war occurring in the country. He stated, “The Supreme Court is overstepping its boundaries. If everything has to go to the Supreme Court, then there is no need for Parliament or state assemblies; they should be shut down.”

Following this, BJP Rajya Sabha MP from Uttar Pradesh, Dinesh Sharma, also commented on the Supreme Court. Supporting Nishikant Dubey’s statement, he said, “When Baba Saheb Ambedkar drafted the Constitution, he clearly outlined the powers of the legislature and judiciary.”

He added, “According to the Indian Constitution, no one can direct the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha, and the President has already given assent to this. No one can challenge the President, as the President is supreme.”

The main opposition party, Congress, has condemned Nishikant Dubey’s statement with the senior Congress leader and spokesperson Jairam Ramesh accusing the BJP of attempting to weaken the Supreme Court.

He said, “Constitutional authorities, ministers, and BJP MPs are speaking against the Supreme Court because the court has stated that laws must not violate the basic structure of the Constitution. If a law is against the Constitution, we cannot accept it.”

Jairam Ramesh further stated, “The Congress party wants the Supreme Court to remain independent and impartial, and the rights granted to it by the Constitution must be fully respected. However, it is clear that deliberate voices are emerging to target the Supreme Court. From electoral bonds to the Waqf Board, the Supreme Court has declared the government’s actions unconstitutional.”
