Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar Attacks Supreme Court: 'Nuclear Missile' Attack

Update on : Apr 18, 2025 01:14 (IST)

Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar has described Article 142, which grants plenary powers to the Supreme Court, as a "nuclear missile against democratic forces available to the judiciary 24x7". "There is a directive to the president by a recent judgment. Where are we heading? What is happening in the country? We have to be extremely sensitive.

It is not a question of someone filing a review or not. We never bargained for democracy for this day. President being called upon to decide in a time-bound manner, and if not, becomes law," he said, days after the top court sought to fix a timeline for the president to grant assent to the bills reserved for her consideration by the governor.
