“It is their personal comments, and the party rejects it,” said Nadda in a post on X.

The party has also instructed both of them and everyone else not to make such statements.

“These are their personal statements, but the BJP neither agrees with such statements nor does it ever support such statements. The BJP completely rejects these statements,” said Nadda.

Further stating that Bharatiya Janata Party has always respected the judiciary and gladly accepted its orders and suggestions “because as a party we believe that all the courts of the country including the Supreme Court are an integral part of our democracy and are the strong pillar of the protection of the Constitution.”
