Impeachment is being used as a political tool, alleges Jaitley

Impeachment is being used as a political tool, alleges Jaitley

New Delhi, Apr 20 (UNI) Union Finance Minister and BJP leader Arun Jaitley on Friday hit back at Opposition's attempts to move an impeachment motion against Chief Justice of India Deepak Misra alleging that impeachment was being used as a 'political tool'.
He expressed concern that over the years Public Interest Litigation crusaders had graduated into ``Institution Disruptors’’ .
``They pick-up even false causes and pursue the falsehood with a sense of deep commitment, indulge in intimidating advocacy and justice dispensation, ’’ he said.
If intimidatory tactics of ``Institution and Disruptors’’ and impeachment motion are threats to judicial independence, the single greatest threat is the divided court itself, he said in a series of tweets.
