Speaking to reporters, Raut said, “What kind of democracy is this? Does it suit a law minister to threaten the judiciary? It is a threat to judges who refuse to bow down to the government...” Criticising the government doesn’t mean being against the nation, he said.

Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj demanded an apology from Rijiju. “Now for him to say that judges are anti-India, it is very shameful. Rijiju should apologise to the entire nation."
