Gaurav Gogoi slams JP Nadda's judiciary stance, says, "BJP turning India into North Korea-Iraq"
Digital Desk: In response to BJP President JP Nadda's recent remarks defending the party's stance on the judiciary, Assam Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has voiced concern.
He claimed that the ultimate goal of the RSS-BJP is to turn India into a country like Iraq or North Korea.
Accusing the BJP ecosystem, especially those close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, of deliberately attempting to weaken the judiciary, Gogoi questioned Nadda's claim that the BJP disapproves of comments made by party MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma about the Chief Justice of India.
Gogoi argued that the BJP's dissatisfaction with previous Supreme Court verdicts, such as those involving Tamil Nadu and the Waqf Amendment Act, looked to be part of a larger effort to destroy the judiciary's image.
I have my doubt regarding the statement of BJP President Shri J P Nadda ji.

The BJP ecosystem esp those who are close to Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are hell bent on tarnishing the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India.
They are unhappy… https://t.co/LHFlYi5rHT
While Nadda distanced the BJP from Dubey and Sharma's inflammatory remarks, calling them personal and not representative of the party's views, Gogoi remained unconvinced.
He highlighted that the BJP's rhetoric against the judiciary was not an isolated episode, but rather part of a wider, continuing narrative that called into question the government's commitment to the Constitution.
Nadda, on his official X account, posted-
भाजपा सांसद निशिकांत दुबे और दिनेश शर्मा का न्यायपालिका एवं देश के चीफ जस्टिस पर दिए गए बयान से भारतीय जनता पार्टी का कोई लेना–देना नहीं है। यह इनका व्यक्तिगत बयान है, लेकिन भाजपा ऐसे बयानों से न तो कोई इत्तेफाक रखती है और न ही कभी भी ऐसे बयानों का समर्थन करती है। भाजपा इन बयान…

He went on to say that the saffron party has always respected the judiciary, wholeheartedly accepting their orders and suggestions, "because as a party, we believe that the Supreme Court, along with all courts in the country, is an integral part of our democracy and a strong pillar for the protection of the Constitution."
