Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday said that Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju’s remark that a few retired judges are part of an “anti-India gang” is an attempt to threaten judges.

Speaking at the India Today Conclave in Delhi on Saturday, Rijiju claimed, “A few retired judges have now become activists and are part of the anti-India gang where they are trying to turn the judiciary against the government.”
