JAMMU: Reacting on statement of former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah wherein he has raised allegations against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in using judiciary for diluting Article 370 or Article 35 A, Chief Spokesperson of State BJP Sunil Sethi in a press statement said it depicts totally intellectual bankruptcy of National Conference (NC) leader .
Sethi further said that judiciary in India is independent and can’t be used by anyone and statement of Omar Abdullah is contemptuous in nature and tends to scandalise judiciary which is highly objectionable coming from a person who had held office of Chief Minister in recent past.
Reference of SARFESI judgment of Supreme Court by Omar is also contemptuous. Judgment which was given by Division Bench of High Court was grossly erroneous on law and Constitution and as such it was bound to be set aside by Supreme Court. The reference to sub nationalism in Division Bench judgement was highly objectionable and was misreading constitutional provision and as such has been rightly commented upon by Supreme Court.
He said doors of judiciary are open to all and anybody having any contrary view can always participate in Court proceedings instead of raising filmsy objections of soft contest by government.
Sunil Sethi further said that Omar should first read stand taken by his government in affidavit before Division Bench of High Court in SARFESI matter before raising accusing fingers towards anyone. He is playing politics at the cost of national interest which is intolerable.
