Kiren rijiju on kapil sibbal: Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju called him a “average lawyer”, calling him a scathing attack on senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal and said that he could not impose his personal agenda on Parliament. Rijiju’s statement came when Kapil Sibal said that the opposition should not support any impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Verma until the process of impeachment begins to investigate the alleged communal comment of Justice Shekhar Yadav.
Sibal is an average lawyer – Rijiju
Rijiju described Kapil Sibal as a very average lawyer and said that he considers himself a person to light up every subject, but it is not so. He said that many MPs have more understanding and knowledge than him.
Parliament belongs to everyone, not any one
The Union Minister said that Parliament runs through collective participation of all members and not with the intentions of any one lawyer-Sansad. We are working in the interest of the country, not to run someone’s agenda.
Parliament only right to remove judges
Rijiju also clarified that Parliament is the only platform to remove a judge of the Supreme Court or High Court. He said that no other institution can do this because Parliament is the highest elected institution of the country.
Government reversed Sibal’s allegations
Kapil Sibal has accused the government of saving Justice Shekhar Yadav and said that the petition filed by opposition MPs against him is pending since December 2024. Reacting to this, Rijiju said that Sibal’s behavior is biased and personal.
