SC's collegium rebuke a reality check for Modi: Rahul takes a dig at PM

SC had sent out a stern message to the Centre over non-execution of collegium's decisions.

New Delhi:

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Supreme Court's scathing observation on appointment of judges, saying it was a reality check for the PM.

-"Reality check from Supreme Court for the PM: No Govt of Modi, by Modi, for Modi,-" he said in a tweet.

The Supreme Court had on Friday sent out a stern message to the Centre over non-execution of collegium's decision to transfer and appoint Chief Justices and judges in High Courts, saying it will not tolerate the -"logjam-" and would intervene to make it accountable.

Observing that justice delivery system is -"collapsing-", a bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur, who also heads the five-membered apex court collegium, had said, -"We won't tolerate logjam in judges' appointment which is stifling its judicial work. We will fasten accountability.-"
