New Delhi: Union Minister Kiran Rijiju has indirectly criticized the Supreme Court order freezing the sedition law. Kiran Rijiju said she respects the court and its independence, but everything has a mission and it cannot be overcome.
‘We have clearly informed the court of our position. The Prime Minister’s intention in this regard was also informed. We respect the court and its independence. But there is a goal line. It should be respected by all. We must ensure that all the provisions and all the laws of the Constitution of India are respected.
The court must respect the government and the legislature. As well as the government court. We have clear boundaries of democracy and no one should cross that line, “said Kiran Rijiju. But he declined to comment on whether the court order was wrong.
The Supreme Court today issued an order freezing the treason charge. The court directed that the case should not be registered under section 124A till the completion of the review. The Central Government should give directions to the States. The Center should take a decision in reviewing the law. Defendants can approach the court seeking bail. At the same time, the government asked the court not to freeze the cases currently filed.
