The tweet by Rijiju, who will deal with earth sciences now, created a buzz for the irony of it. His tenure as legislation minister was marked by a visibly worsening standoff between the federal government and judiciary over the appointment of judges. No much less controversial had been his remarks that had been construed to have doubted the nationalism of some former judges. These brought about an uproar. Extra just lately, Rijiju, a Member of Parliament from Andhra Pradesh, opined that permitting same-sex marriage was squarely within the legislative area and never a difficulty for the apex court docket to settle. Whereas elected representatives of individuals can all the time differ from upholders of constitutional values on coverage versus rights, the friction had begun to grate.
