BJP MP Nishikant Dubey sparked controversy after he remarked that if the Supreme Court wants to make laws, then there is no need for Parliament in the country.
In a post on X and later in comments to news agencies, Dubey said, “If the Supreme Court has to make laws, then Parliament should be shut down (sic).”
His remarks comes amid the ongoing hearing in the Supreme Court over the recently-enacted Waqt (Amendment) Act, 2025. The court, during the hearing, had raised questions over some of the Act’s provisions, including the ‘Waqf by user’ provision. The government had then assured the top court that it would not implement some parts of the Waqf (Amendment) Act until the next hearing on May 5.
