Jagdeep Dhankhar today asserted that India is a democratic nation with a robust judicial system which can not be compromised by any individual or any group. Describing Indian democracy as unique, VP stated that India does not need lessons from anyone on the rule of law.
Addressing the 70th Founders' Day celebrations of the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) in New Delhi today, Shri Dhankhar said that “equality before law is a new norm” in India today and the law is holding those accountable who thought themselves as beyond law. “But what do we see? The moment law takes its course, they take to streets, high decibel debates, camouflaging culpability of the worst nature by human rights. This is happening under our nose,” he added.
Describing Indian judicial system as robust, pro-people and independent, he questioned “What is justification for a person or an institution or an organisation to take to streets when law is set in motion?”
Calling for deeper deliberations on this issue, Shri Dhankhar asked, “Can people orchestrate in complaining mode, a pernicious tendency to get away from rule of law? How can one engaging in transgression of law play victim card?”
