          Para 198 of the judgement states: “Lest one is accused of having recorded any sweeping inferences, it will be necessary to record the reasons, for the above conclusion. The Indian Express  on 18th June, 2015 published an interview with L.K. Advani a veteran BJP Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha, under the caption “Ahead of the 40th anniversary of the imposition of the Emergency on 25.6.1975”. His views were dreadfully revealing.  In his opinion, he asserted – this is very important – “I do not think anything  has been done that gives me the assurance that civil liberties will not be suspended or destroyed again. Not at all”!!  This was the comment passed upon this Government by your own veteran leader.
Then, the judgement further states in para 200: “The stance of L.K. Advani was affirmed by Sitaram Yechury, a veteran CPI (Marxist) Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, who was arrested, like L.K. Advani, during the emergency in 1975.” Then, the Judges say in the next para 201 of the judgement and  it is very important: “The present NDA Government was sworn in, on 26.5.2014. One believes, that thereafter 13 Governors of different States and one Lieutenant Governor of a Union Territory tendered their resignations in no time. Some of the Governors demitted their offices shortly after they were appointed, by previous UPA dispensation.  That is despite the fact, that a Governor under the Constitutional mandate of Article 156(3)  has a term of five years, from the date he enters upon his office. A  Governor  is chosen out of persons having professional excellence and/or personal acclaim. Each one of them, would be eligible to be nominated as an `eminent person’ under Article 124A(1)(d).” The judgement says that the statements given by Shri L.K. Advani, Shri Yechury and the performance of the Government in appointment and removal of Governors gave suspicion to the Judiciary and it struck down your Bill.  It is in the judgement. Of course, I am not accepting the judgement.  I am aggrieved with the judgement of the Supreme Court in the 2G case.  They went for the cancellation of licenses. What is after all the judgement? Prosecution should stand on two legs: one is the assessment of facts and the other is interpretation of law. Am I correct? Pinaki ji, correct me, if I am wrong? I proved in the trial court that the judgement passed by  the Supreme Court in 2G was completely wrong on two counts, namely, one on the assessment of facts and on the interpretation of law. I am not accepting the judgement.

कभी-कभी न्यायमूर्तियों को भी बहुत विनम्रता से कहता हूं कि उनको अपनी अकाउण्टेबिलिटी के बारे में विचार करना चाहिए कि उनकी अकाउण्टेबिलिटी कहां है और किस हद तक है? हम न्यायपालिका की ईमानदारी, न्यायपालिका की निष्पक्षता, न्यायपालिका की स्वायत्तता और न्यायपालिका की आजादी के पूरे समर्थक हैं । I want to make it very clear that our Government is absolutely committed to an independent judiciary. लेकिन अगर यह कहा जाए कि देश की पॉलिटी की कोई भूमिका नहीं है तो ये बड़े सवाल हैं । इन पर कभी न कभी चर्चा करने की जरूरत है । लोगों ने कहा है कि आगे इसको लाया जाए तो देखना पड़ेगा । पिनाकी बाबू मैं आपसे क्या बताऊं? यह जो पूरा आपका टैक्सेशन था, जी.एस.टी., इस पर कितने पापड़ बेलने पड़े,मुझे बताइए?अगर सर्वानुमति हो तो हम बिल्कुल तैयार हैं, लेकिन अगर सर्वानुमति में जब सियासत होती है, तो दिक्कत होती है । मैं चाहता हूं कि एक स्वर में इसके बारे में बात बोलनी चाहिए । मिस्टर राजा चले गए हैं, उन्होंने आडवाणी जी के कोट को मेंशन किया । If a particular observation of Shri L.K. Advani, a veteran leader, in connection with a particular political activity of Emergency has been mentioned that we have to be assured that there is no invasion of liberty, I am sorry to say that, that cannot be used as a ground because Shri Advani ji has also voted in favour of NJAC in 2014 when we brought that Bill. Therefore, I would like to say that these reasonings at best were avoidable. आप देखिए उसी के बाद सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने एक जज साहब को कंटेम्प्ट में जेल भेजा था । उस समय जूडिशियल अपॉइंटमेंट के बारे में क्या-क्या कहा गया था? आज मैं कहता हूं कि ज्यूडिशियल अपॉइंटमेंट में थोड़ी स्क्रीनिंग होनी चाहिए । यह बात शायद आपने कही थी और किसी और ने भी कही थी ।
