Re: [IAC#RG] UPA GOVT’S UNCHARITABLE REMARKS ON JUDICIARY

From Commander T.N. Singhal (Retd)

     

     My understanding of working of the Parliament is that there is a 'RIGHT TO REPLY'

to an adverse comment by an MP in the Parliament by a person adversely accused.

Of course this 'RIGHT TO REPLY' is available only to an MP.  It is therefore NOT

HONOURABLE to comment when the accused cannot reply.  Of course one can split

hair and claim that this available only to INDIVIDUALS and not INSTITUTIONS.  But

accusations should not be voiced degrading CONSTITUTIONAL institutions like

the Judiciary.

                         UPA  GOVT'S  UNCHARITABLE  REMARKS  ON  JUDICIARY

 

Speaking in Parliament , the Finance Minister accused judiciary of  putting impediments in the functioning  of the government.  Certainly,  millions of well informed  Indians  will reject this charge with the contempt that it deserves.  On the other hand,  people think  that the judiciary is the only hope today  to restore probity in public life and people want judiciary to be proactive.

But for the Supreme Court, the people involved in monumental corruption  such as Commonwealth games, 2G scam, Coal scam and several other scams of Manmohan  Singh's government which have become the order of the day now, would have gone scot free.   Several  organisations  would have got away with environmental violations.  It is true that Supreme Court has now become sort of powerful  constitutional body.   But, this is only  because of the huge support that it gets from the public and the common man who feel helpless in the present situation.

The government is now trying to bring several amendments in Parliament  to curtail the powers of the Supreme Court  and control its function in a direct or indirect way. Credibility of the ministers and politicians in the country is already low and their attempt  to check the Supreme Court  may lead to a lot of public anger which  these politicians cannot control.  

It is necessary that those in charge of the government at top level should have the wisdom to see things in proper perspective and understand the public mood  and  the ultimate limitations of the ministers and politicians.  By indulging in unchecked corruption and nepotism  on the one hand and   in trying to put down  Supreme Court, which is the only place where people hope to get justice , the   central government  is  playing with fire.
