Supreme Court must do its duty and not leave it to the whims of a wily Prime Minister. Simranjit Singh Mann.

The Tribune dated 16th May 2022

Comments by Simranjit Singh Mann: Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) states that we cannot leave the amendment of the sedition law to the trust of a wily Prime Minister Narinder Modi who as Chief Minister Gujarat in 2002 had innocent Muslims massacred in cold blood.

In the same capacity of Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2013, Mr. Modi had 60,000 innocent Sikh farmers who had legitimate deeds to their honestly acquired farmlands evicted from their farms and homes.

Therefore, the Supreme Court has a Constitutional duty to carry out a judicial review of this barbaric law-sedition. The decision, cannot be left to Mr. Modi to tinker it according to his ruthless temperament.

The Sikhs and the minorities have not lived in peace since this British law was carried through to the new Hindu Indian state in 1947.

The executive should do its duty and the Supreme Court must carryout its Constitutional duties of judicial review of not only sedition but also AFSPA (Armed Forces Special Powers Act), CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act), NPR (National Population Register), NRC (National Register of Citizens).

Our party’s hopes that the Supreme Court will dole out justice. Mercy is in the hands of the Government. We want justice.
