Modi wants to subjugate judiciary and media: AAP

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday allegedly said that whatever is happening in Patiala House premises is a direct attack on judiciary. This is not possible without support of the Modi government. The party said police cannot be inactive after Supreme Court instructions unless orders are from the top of the government. Modi wants to subjugate judiciary and media.

“It is difficult to imagine on what basis Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi gathered the courage to ignore the directions of the top court of the country to provide adequate security to journalists who were covering the court hearing in the case of JNU students’ union president at the Patiala House Court Complex,” said Ashutosh, senior AAP leader.

“Not only were the journalists beaten up for the second time in three days in full public view by the BJP’s goons, but they also targeted senior Supreme Court lawyers, who were asked by the Supreme Court to assess the situation at the Patiala House Court Complex. Delhi Police continued to remain a mute spectator when all this was going on,” he added. 

These goons again entered the court rooms and attacked innocent people. Such scenes are unheard of in the national Capital and the attitude of Delhi Police makes the citizens of the city hang their heads in shame. 

The sequence of incidents on Wednesday clearly indicate that the Delhi Police, in order to please the BJP’s Central government, has defied the top judiciary of the country and allowed goons to target the journalists almost on a routine basis now.

“If two pillars of the democracy — judiciary and media — are targeted in the national Capital by the police without any fear of law, then future of democracy is clearly under threat,” said Kapil Mishra, Delhi Cabinet minister.
