"Differences Between Government And Judiciary Doesn't Mean...": Law Minister

"We have differences, but it doesn't mean there is confrontation. It sends a wrong message across the world. I want to make it clear that there is no problem between different organs of the State. There are signs of robust democratic actions, which are not a crisis," he emphasised.

Denying any clash between the government and judiciary as speculated in the media, Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju today contended that differences were inevitable in a democracy but they should not be construed as confrontation.

The minister inaugurated the Chief Judicial Magistrate court, Mayiladuthurai, in the presence of Chief Justice of India Justice DY Chandrachud, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and Acting Chief Justice of Madras High Court Justice T Raja in Madurai.

"We have differences, but it doesn't mean there is confrontation. It sends a wrong message across the world. I want to make it clear that there is no problem between different organs of the State. There are signs of robust democratic actions, which are not a crisis," he emphasised.

Pointing to some media reports of alleged differences between the government and the Supreme Court or the legislature and judiciary, the Union Minister said, "we must understand that we are in a democracy. There are bound to be certain differences in terms of some outlook but you can't have conflicting positions. This doesn't mean confrontation. We are the largest democracy in the world."
