Govt has no concern for law, alleges Oppn

The BJP’s game of motions is less about law and more about optics

- Press Trust of India

The Congress on Saturday accused the government of indulging in “petty politics” rather than bothering about constitutional principles and good governance by not admitting the Opposition motion against Justice Yashwant Varma in Rajya Sabha.

Addressing a press conference, Congress senior spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi further alleged that the government was adopting “double standards” on the issue of judicial accountability by acting against Justice ‘Varma but ignoring the motion against Justice Shekhar Yadav of Allahabad High Court.

Singhvi also described former vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar’s ouster as a “political exit camouflaged as a constitutional lie”.
