Amid the ongoing conflict on judges appointments between the government and the judiciary, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said people are ‘malik’ (masters) of the country and the country will be governed under the guidance of the Constitution. His remarks came after the Supreme Court expressed displeasure over the delay in clearing recommendations for the transfer of high court judges, calling it a “very serious issue”, and warned that any delay in this matter may result in both administrative and judicial actions which might not be palatable. Addressing an event on the 150th anniversary of the Allahabad High Court Bar Association, the Law Minister said nobody can give a warning to anyone. “Public is ‘malik’ (master) of this country and we are servants.

It has a 10-day waiting … [Read more...] about DAVID HARSANYI: Buckle Up For Democrats’ Next Senseless Gun Control Crusade
