'No Bigger Contempt Of SC Than This': Amit Shah On Kejriwal's Campaign Statement

Home minister Amit Shah on Friday criticized Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's campaign statement, saying that it showed contempt for the Supreme Court.

In an interview with news agency ANI, Amit Shah questioned whether the Supreme Court would make decisions on crime based on electoral outcomes, emphasizing that Kejriwal's remarks were inappropriate and misrepresented the functioning of the apex court.

"There can be no bigger contempt (of the Supreme Court) than this. Will the Supreme Court make decisions on crime based on (electoral) victory or defeat? I am not saying it; Kejriwal ji is saying it," the home minister said.

"I have not heard it (Arvind Kejriwal's remarks). You said I read it in the newspaper. But, if he has said so, then it is a very wrong comment on the functioning of the Supreme Court, " Shah added.
