Confrontation with judiciary meant to capture it: Congress

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Monday alleged that the Centre wants to capture the judiciary and that is why a confrontation is going on in an orchestrated manner.

"The VP's assaults. The Law Minister's attacks. All this is orchestrated confrontation with the judiciary to intimidate and thereafter capture it totally. The Collegium needs reform. But what this Govt wants is complete subservience - Its remedy is a poison pill for the judiciary," Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh tweeted.

Ramesh was reacting on reports that the government wants its nominee in the collegium, which recommends names for appointment in the higher judiciary. (IANS)
