Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal leveled some serious accusations on the Narendra Modi government as he shared a suspicion that phones of judges were being tapped and the government was interfering in their appointments. The allegations were made by Kejriwal on Monday during the golden jubilee celebrations of Delhi high court as he claimed to have “overheard judges telling each other that they should not talk on mobile phones because they could be tapped”.
In his remarks, Kejriwal alleged that “I don’t know whether it is true or not but there is a widespread fear. If it is true that phones are tapped then judges can be influenced…” Kejriwal had mentioned that “there are many other ways to gather evidence for wrongdoing, otherwise it will be the biggest assault on the independence of the judiciary.” He pointed out that “if any action of the executive snatches the power of the people, if any judicial interpretation of the Constitution takes away power of the people then it is not good for democracy.” However, the allegations were denied immediately on the same ceremony in presence of both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Justice of India TS Thakur.
Union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad refuted Kejriwal’s allegation and stressed that the Modi government’s commitment to the independence of the judiciary is ‘fundamental, impeachable and uncompromising’. Prasad addressed the same audience after Kejriwal and explained that “I have been the communication minister for two years and I completely deny that phones of judges are tapped at all.”
