Owaisi Slams BJP’s Nishikant Dubey Over Supreme Court Remark, Calls Leaders ‘Tubelights’

Owaisi Slams BJP’s Nishikant: AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has fiercely criticized BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma for their comments about the Supreme Court, cautioning that such remarks pose a risk to the very structure of Indian democracy.

"You are not very bright, and you resemble a brand of soft drink,” the Hyderabad MP said, ridiculing the BJP politicians for what he deemed an irresponsible attack on the judiciary. “Are you threatening the courts? Article 142 was introduced by BR Ambedkar, who had far more foresight than you.”

Owaisi also directed a stern message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Your associates are so extreme that they are threatening the courts. Modi ji, if you don’t rein in these individuals, the nation will be weakened — and it will not forget you.”

Congress leader BV Srinivas had also lashed out at Dubey, calling him a "rowdy MP," and suggesting that he had been asked to make the remarks against the top court by the BJP high command.

"A rowdy MP like Nishikant Dubey does not have the guts to open his mouth against the Supreme Court and the CJI without the orders of his masters. For how long will you utter Ram and stab, Nadda?" he said.

These remarks were triggered by Dubey’s incendiary statement suggesting that Parliament and state assemblies should be dissolved if the Supreme Court is to make all decisions. “The top court has a singular motive: ‘Show me the face, and I will show you the law’,” Dubey declared to ANI, accusing the judiciary of overstepping its boundaries and igniting religious discord.

Dubey also took issue with the court’s earlier ruling on decriminalizing homosexuality and questioned its authority to impose deadlines on the President or Governors regarding re-passed Bills — as seen in a recent landmark ruling. Dinesh Sharma from the BJP stated that “no one can challenge the President” and referred to her as the “supreme” authority.

He further cited Article 368 as he highlighted how the top court does not have the right to interpret the law.

“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) say 'Show us the paper'. But when it comes to the mosques built after the arrival of the Mughals, you say there are no documents to show,” the BJP MP from Jharkhand's Godda said.
