Union Minister JP Nadda strongly reacted to the recent remarks made by BJP MPs against the Supreme Court. He said the BJP completely rejects these statements and they do not reflect the party’s official position.
New Delhi: The BJP gave a strong and clear reply, saying it has full respect for the judiciary. The party explained that the remarks made by its MPs, Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma, about the Supreme Court were their personal views and do not show the party’s official opinion.
JP Nadda stated in a late-night post on X,
“The Bharatiya Janata Party has nothing to do with the statements made by BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma on the judiciary and the Chief Justice of the country. These are their personal statements, but the BJP neither agrees with such statements nor does it ever support such statements. The BJP completely rejects these statements,”

Nishikant Dubey, an MP from Godda in Jharkhand, claimed that the “Supreme Court is responsible for inciting religious wars in the country,” and asserted that the “Supreme Court is going beyond its limits.”
He further argued,
“If one has to go to the Supreme Court for everything, then Parliament and State Assembly should be shut down.”
Dinesh Sharma, another MP, referenced the Constitution, asserting that “no one can direct the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.”
Nadda reiterated that the MPs and others have been advised against making such comments, stressing that “the judiciary is an integral part of our democracy.”
Nadda also said,
“Bharatiya Janata Party has always respected the judiciary and gladly accepted its orders and suggestions because as a party we believe that all the courts of the country including the Supreme Court are an integral part of our democracy and are the strong pillar of the protection of the Constitution. I have instructed both of them and everyone else not to make such statements,”
These sharp remarks from the BJP MPs followed a recent Supreme Court ruling in a Tamil Nadu case, in which the Court deemed Governor RN Ravi’s decision to withhold assent to ten bills as “illegal and arbitrary.”
The Supreme Court set a three-month deadline for Presidential and Official assent to bills passed by the legislature a second time and suggested that the President should refer bills with constitutional questions to the Supreme Court.
Additionally, these comments surfaced amid ongoing hearings regarding several petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.

During a hearing on April 17, the Centre assured the Supreme Court that it would not denotify any ‘Waqf-by-user’ provision and would avoid including non-Muslim members on the Board, following the Court’s indication that it might consider staying certain parts of the law.
Condemning Dubey’s remarks, Congress claimed that the “Supreme Court is being targeted.”
Congress’ General Secretary in charge of communication Jairam Ramesh, stated,
“Efforts are being made to weaken the Supreme Court. Different voices are deliberately coming up and the Supreme Court is being targeted. There is the issue of electoral bonds, the issue of Waqf has come up, the issue of Election Commission is about to come,” ,
