We Have Veiled Emergency, Judges Often Lack Spine, Writing New Constitution at This Time Impossible

Support The Interview with Karan Thapar - https://fij.mojo.page/support-the-int... Fali Nariman, who is widely considered India’s greatest living expert on the constitution, says: “The Opposition is the most important part of the Parliament” and it is its duty to “attack the government and individual ministers” but, he adds, “the Opposition has no right to obstruct in the sense of making parliament barren or unproductive”. Mr. Nariman has also said that the situation today is like the emergency of 1975 except behind a veil. However, he agreed that one critical difference between the situation today and during the Emergency of Indira Gandhi’s time is that today there’s an anti-muslim, anti-minority mood prevailing, if not increasing, in the country. Mr. Nariman said this “does not gel with India’s prominence in world affairs”.
