TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ The Parliament cannot be stopped from examining the Rafale deal asserted former finance minister and senior advocate P Chidambaram on Monday while citing that authority of the Supreme Court and Parliament are very different.
Chidambaram tweeted, “The jurisdiction of the SC and the domain of the sovereign Parliament are very different. Nothing can stop Parliament, present or future,from examining the Rafale deal.” He also claimed that the verdict of the top court was constrained by its ‘jurisdictional limitation’ and said,”The judgment of the SC was constrained by its jurisdictional limitations.
See the last sentence of the judgment as well as several other observations.Therefore, the issue of Rafale remains wide open.” Senior Congress leader Chidambaram also took a dig at Prime Minister Modi’s comment questioning Congress’s faith in Supreme Court. “Congress does not believe in SC”,says PM Modi. Wrong. Congress believes in SC, but Congress does not believe in misleading SC,” he wrote.
