Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 19 (ANI): Reacting to Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nishikant Dubey's statement on the Supreme Court, AIADMK national spokesperson Kovai Sathyan on Saturday said that breaching others' areas will do no good to democracy.
'I dont want to comment on it. There is a very thin line of difference between the legislature and the judiciary. Breaching the others' area will do no good to democracy. Whatever happens should be for the good of the country and the democracy. In a democratic nation, you can challenge anyone. Even you can challenge the verdicts of the courts through legal means and process. Everybody has the right,' Sathyan told ANI.
Earlier today, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nishikant Dubey alleged that the Supreme Court is responsible for 'inciting religious wars' in the country, saying the Parliament building should be closed down if the apex court has to make the laws.
'The top court has only one aim 'Show me the face, will show you the law'. The Supreme Court is going beyond its limits. If one has to go to the Supreme Court for everything, then Parliament and State Assembly should be shut,' Dubey told ANI.
'There was an Article 377 in which homosexuality is a big crime. The Trump administration has said that there are only two sexes in this world, either male or female...Whether it is Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh, all believe that homosexuality is a crime. One fine morning, the Supreme Court said that we abolish this case...Article 141 says that the laws we make, the judgments we give, are applicable from the lower court to the Supreme Court. Article 368 says that Parliament has the right to make all laws and the Supreme Court has the right to interpret the law. The top court is asking the President and Governor to tell what they have to go regarding the Bills. When Ram Mandir or Krishna Janamboomi or Gyanvapi comes, you (SC) says 'Show us the paper'. Mughals ke aane ke baad jo Masjid banne hai unke liye keh raho ho paper kaha se dikhao,' he added.
The BJP leader further alleged that the Supreme Court want to take this country towards 'anarchy.'
'How can you give direction to the appointing authority? The President appoints the Chief Justice of India. The Parliament makes the law of this country. You will dictate that Parliament?... How did you make a new law? In which law is it written that the President has to take a decision within three months? This means that you want to take this country towards anarchy. When the Parliament sits, there will be a detailed discussion on this,' Dubey said.
His comment came amid the ongoing hearing in the Supreme Court over several petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
Notably, the Centre had assured the Supreme Court during the hearing held on April 17 that it would not denotify any 'Waqf-by-user' provision and would not include any non-Muslim members in the Board. The assurance comes a day after the top court said it will consider staying those parts of the law. (ANI)
