On Electoral Bond Scheme
“We are not stopping the legislature (Parliament) from coming out with a transparent scheme which relies less on cash and more on accountable channels…. This is a work in progress. However, the problem with this scheme is that it does not give a level – playing field for parties and suffers from opacity.”
– Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Chief Justice of India
No criminal jurisdiction
“The Ethics Committee of the Lok Sabha and other such committees do not have criminal jurisdiction….. the nation’s founders did not empower to alleged criminality since they can be “misused” by governments enjoying brute majority in Parliament.”
– Ms.Mahua Moitra, Member of Parliament, Trinamool Congress Party
