Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, speaking at Delhi University, reinforced his criticism of judicial overreach and asserted the supremacy of Parliament. He emphasized that elected representatives are the "ultimate masters" of the Constitution, not the judiciary. Citing conflicting Supreme Court rulings on the constitutional status of the Preamble, Dhankhar questioned judicial consistency. He urged democratic discourse and accountability, warning that silence could endanger democracy. His remarks follow recent criticism from BJP leaders over perceived judicial encroachment, and a Supreme Court comment expressing concern over such accusations during a hearing on President's Rule in West Bengal.(PC:India Today)
