New Delhi, Apr 20: The Congress on Sunday described the BJP disassociating itself from the criticism of the Supreme Court by its MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma as \u201cdamage control\u201d and asked why no action had been taken against the two.
\nCongress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the distancing of the \u201coutgoing BJP president\u201d from the \u201catrocious remarks\u201d made by two MPs on the Chief Justice of India (CJI) carried little meaning.
\n\u201cThese MPs are repeat offenders when it comes to hate speech and are very often used by G2 to attack communities, institutions, and individuals. The outgoing BJP president\u2019s clarification is nothing but damage control,\u201d Ramesh said in a post on X.
\n\u201cIt will fool nobody. This is Entire Political Science reflecting itself as Entire Political Hypocrisy,\u201d he said.
\nBut the \u201coutgoing BJP president\u201d is totally silent on equally unacceptable remarks on the judiciary that are continually made by one of its very distinguished appointees to a high constitutional position, Ramesh said and asked what he had to say about those remarks and if the BJP subscribed to them.
\nThe former Union minister further asked, \u201cIf the continued silence of the prime minister on these repeated attacks on the Indian Constitution is not tacitly supportive of them, why has no action been taken against these two MPs? Has Nadda ji issued show cause notices to these two MPs?\u201d The BJP on Saturday disassociated itself from Dubey and Sharma\u2019s criticism of the Supreme Court, with party president JP Nadda calling the comments their personal views.
\nHe also affirmed the ruling party\u2019s respect for the judiciary as an inseparable part of democracy.\u201cThe BJP has nothing to do with the comments of MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma on the judiciary and the chief justice. This is their personal comments but the BJP neither agrees with them nor does it ever support such remarks. The BJP absolutely rejects them,\u201d Nadda said in a post on X.
\nHe said he had directed both the leaders and other members of the party not to make such comments.
\nEarlier on Saturday, Dubey \u2014 one of the more vocal BJP members in the Lok Sabha \u2014 launched a broadside against the Supreme Court, saying Parliament and state assemblies should be shut if the apex court had to make the laws.
\nHe also took a swipe at CJI Sanjiv Khanna.
\nDubey had also alleged that CJI Khanna was responsible for \u201ccivil wars\u201d in the country.
\nSharma, a former deputy chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, was also critical of the Supreme Court, saying no one could direct Parliament or the president.<\/p>\n
