"Blatant attack on judiciary": CPI leader Binoy Viswam on Nishikant Dubey's statement on Supreme Court

Thrissur (Kerala) [India], April 19 (ANI): Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Binoy Viswam on Saturday said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey's recent comments on the Supreme Court were a "blatant attack" on the judiciary.
"The words of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey is a blatant attack on the judiciary. It is a violation of the norms of the Constitution... BJP and RSS are the sole reason for all sorts of communal tensions in the country," Binoy Viswam told ANI.
Earlier in the day, BJP leader Nishikant Dubey made serious allegations against the Supreme Court, saying it was responsible for "inciting religious wars" in the country. He also questioned the need for Parliament if the top court continues to make laws.
"The top court has only one aim 'Show me the face, will show you the law'. The Supreme Court is going beyond its limits. If one has to go to the Supreme Court for everything, then Parliament and State Assembly should be shut," Dubey told ANI.
He further criticised the court over its decisions, including the decriminalisation of homosexuality, and accused it of overstepping its authority.
"There was an Article 377 in which homosexuality is a big crime. The Trump administration has said that there are only two sexes in this world, either male or female... Whether it is Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh, all believe that homosexuality is a crime. One fine morning, the Supreme Court said that we abolish this case... Article 141 says that the laws we make, the judgments we give, are applicable from the lower court to the Supreme Court. Article 368 says that Parliament has the right to make all laws and the Supreme Court has the right to interpret the law. The top court is asking the President and Governor to tell what they have to go regarding the Bills. When Ram Mandir or Krishna Janamboomi or Gyanvapi comes, you (SC) says 'Show us the paper'. Mughals ke aane ke baad jo Masjid banne hai unke liye keh raho ho paper kaha se dikhao," he added.
Dubey also accused the Supreme Court of trying to create disorder in the country.
"How can you give direction to the appointing authority? The President appoints the Chief Justice of India. The Parliament makes the law of this country. You will dictate that Parliament?... How did you make a new law? In which law is it written that the President has to take a decision within three months? This means that you want to take this country towards anarchy. When the Parliament sits, there will be a detailed discussion on this," Dubey said.
His remarks come during the ongoing Supreme Court hearing on petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
During the April 17 hearing, the Centre assured the Supreme Court that it would not denotify any 'Waqf-by-user' provisions and would not include any non-Muslim members in the Waqf Board. This assurance came a day after the court said it would consider staying parts of the new law. (ANI)
