Hours after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey launched a strong attack on the Supreme Court, including blaming Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna for “all civil wars in the country”, party president J P Nadda on Saturday said the BJP “completely rejected” these remarks and warned against such statements.

Earlier in the day, Dubey posted his ANI video clip on X in which, while responding to a question on the Waqf law and the recent violence in West Bengal, he says: “Iss desh mein jitne grih yuddha ho rahe hain unke zimmedar kewal yahaan ke Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna Sahab hain (CJI Sanjiv Khanna is responsible for all civil wars in this country).”

He also criticised the Supreme Court’s recent decisions – on red-flagging aspects of the Waqf law and suggesting it could stay them, and setting a timeline for the President to clear Bills. Underlining that it is the Parliament which makes laws, he said in a post on X: “Kanoon yadi Supreme Court hi banayega to Sansad Bhavan bandh kar dena chahiye (If the Supreme Court makes the law, then Parliament House should be closed).”

Hours later, in a post on X at night, Nadda distanced the BJP from Dubey’s remarks. “The BJP has nothing to do with the statements made by BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma on the judiciary and the CJI. 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,” Nadda said. “BJP 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 protecting our Constitution. I have instructed both of them, and everyone else, not to make such statements,” Nadda said.

Party sources said there was no talk of any disciplinary action yet.

Earlier in the day, Dubey had told The Indian Express that he had not talked to his party before expressing his views. When contacted after Nadda’s public posts, Dubey said he would follow the party line. “I am a disciplined soldier of the party. I will go by what the party says,” he told The Indian Express.

Speaking to The Indian Express earlier, Dubey said: “Tell me wherefrom is this three-month condition on the President, the appointing authority of the Chief Justice of India, imposed by the Supreme Court? Which Article of the Constitution says the court can impose three months? It is only Parliament which can amend the Constitution. If the court believes that it is its work, let Parliament and Assemblies be shut down.”
