Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, while speaking at an event to celebrate 50 years of Delhi High Court on Monday, levied a veiled allegation against the government saying that judges are in fear of their phones being tapped.
According to ANI, Delhi Chief Minister said:
Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad immediately dismissed these claims.
Further, Kejriwal also targeted the government for delaying judicial appointments. He said that the Supreme Court Collegium had given its recommendations for the appointments months back, but the Centre has still not acted.
Prime Minister Modi also addressed the gathering at this event. The Delhi High Court was established in 1966 and is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
