Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju today said he is “confident” that the Supreme Court would not “venture into legislative matter”.
He also said Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s declaration that the amended Waqf law will not be implemented in the State raises questions on whether she has any moral authority or the Constitutional right to occupy that position.
“I am confident that the Supreme Court will not venture into a legislative matter,” the Minister told a national news channel. “We have to respect each other.
If tomorrow the Government interferes into judiciary, it won’t be nice. The separation of powers is well defined,” he said.
Asked about Mamata’s stance, Rijiju said it could indicate that Banerjee does not believe in the Constitution of India.
“What kind of bizarre statement is that?” Rijiju said.
