A day after the sitting Karnataka High Court judge Justice H. P. Sandesh talked about the threat of transfer by “someone from Delhi” in an open court, the Congress on Tuesday accused the Narendra Modi government of “intimidating, interfering and influencing the judiciary”.
Senior Supreme Court Advocate and Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi raised the issue of the top court’s ruling, noting that “indiscriminate arrests and denial of bail give the impressions of a Police State” and asserted that Congress-ruled States would liberalise bail laws.
Neither the Law Minister nor the BJP has responded to the Congress’ accusations until the filing of this report.
