New Delhi: The debate over the Supreme Court setting deadline for the President to decide on bills is getting more intense. After Vice President Jagdeep Dhakhar raised concerns, BJP MP Nishsikant Dubey also spoke out against the court’s move.

Dubey questioned how the Chief Justice of India (CJI), who is apponted by the President, coul issue directions to the President. He said, “Parliament makes the laws in this country. Will the court now giving instructions to Parliament too?

He went further, blaming Chief Justice of India Sajiv Khanna for causing division in the country and even accused the Supreme Court of fueling religious tensions. According to him, the court is overstepping its boundaries. “If everyone has to go go the Supreme Court for everything, then what;s the point of having Parliament or state assemblies?” he asked.

At the same time, the BJP has distanced itself from Nishikant’s statement. Party’s national president JP Nadda said- The party has nothing to do with the statements made by Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma on the judiciary and the Chief Justice of the country. These are their personal statements.

Actually, this matter arose from the dispute between the Tamil Nadu Governor and the state government. The Supreme Court ordered on April 8 that the Governor has no veto power. At the same time, the President will have to make a decision on the bill within 3 months. This order came out on April 11.

BJP does not support such statements

Nadda wrote in the X post BJP neither agrees with such statements nor does it ever support such statements. BJP rejects these statements outright. The party has always respected the judiciary, gladly accepted their orders and suggestions, because as a party we believe that all the courts of the country, including the Supreme Court, are an integral part of our democracy. They are the strong pillars of the protection of the Constitution. I have instructed these two and everyone else not to make such statements.
