New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday "outrightly rejected" and distanced itself from the statements made by the party MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma on the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of India.

The two members have also been asked to refrain from making such statements. "The statements made by BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma regarding the judiciary and the Chief Justice of the country have no connection whatsoever with the Bharatiya Janata Party. These are their personal statements, but the BJP neither agrees with such statements nor ever endorses them.

The BJP outrightly rejects these statements," BJP national president JP Nadda said in a post on X. "The Bharatiya Janata Party has always respected the judiciary, wholeheartedly accepting its orders and suggestions, as we, as a party, believe that the Supreme Court, along with all other courts in the country, is an integral part of our democracy and a strong pillar in safeguarding the Constitution. I have directed both of them, and everyone else, to refrain from making such statements," he added.
