Dhankhar Slams 'People In World' Lecturing India On Its Judicial Behaviour

Without referring to the case linked to the excise policy 'scam', he said India has a robust judicial mechanism. 

Addressing an event organised by a Bar association, Dhankhar asserted that Indian judiciary is fair, independent, fair and "ever ready".

"There are people in the world who want to lecture us on our judicial behaviour," he said.

He also said a narrative is being created on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. 

"Someone from a sovereign platform, ignorant of ground realities, is trying to teach us a lesson that this is discriminatory ... Let us rebuff their ignorance," Dhankhar said.
