This followed at the heels of the historic judge- ment in Justice Loya Case, where the Supreme Court not only slammed the Congress Party for set- tling political scores and 'maligning' judiciary but also for wasting time of the court by filing 'frivo- lous' petitions. There can- not be a bigger slap on the face of Congress Party than this claimed Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of BJP. "Bereft of any issues, the Congress in its despera- tion to win the 2019 Parliamentary elections is trying all stunts including engineering communal riots but has failed so far in its evil design of polaris- ing the country," alleged Brig Gupta. "Out of desperation, party did not even spare the third pillar of democ- racy in our nation and in conspiracy with like-mind- ed other political parties tried to subjugate the office of Chief Justice of India, an attempt in which it has not only badly failed but emerged as an anti- democratic political party," claimed Brig Gupta. Even the Prime Minister has welcomed the rejection terming it as a victory of democracy. "Our institu- tions which are an out- come of our Constitution need to be saved from the onslaught of the Congress Party. The Congress Party has spared no institution and is attacking the EC, Supreme Court, Army for petty political gains", said our National President Amit Shah who blasted the Congress party for stoop- ing so low that it has now started attacking our dem- ocratic institutions, asserted the spokesperson. Brig Gupta also slammed Congress President Rahul Gandhi for provoking the people by making state- ments like, "the judiciary has been crushed. The peo- ple have lost faith in judi- ciary, during his 'Save the Constitution' Campaign in Delhi."
