Last week, Dhankhar questioned the judiciary setting a timeline for the president to make decisions, describing it as a ‘super Parliament’, saying the Supreme Court cannot fire a ‘nuclear missile’ at democratic forces.

Close on the heels of the Vice President’s comments, BJP M Nishikant Dubey launched a broadside against the Supreme Court, saying Parliament and assemblies should be shut if the apex court had to make laws. He also blamed Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna for “religious wars” in India.
