Rahul Gandhi should apologise for remarks against judiciary, EC: Rijiju

New Delhi: Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday hit out at Rahul Gandhi for his remarks in Lok Sabha on the judiciary and the Election Commission and demanded an apology from the Congress leader for questioning the vital institutions.

Participating in the debate on Motion of Thanks on the President's Address in Lok Sabha on Wednesday, Gandhi said the judiciary, the Election Commission and Pegasus (spyware) are all "instruments of



destroying the voice of the union of states".
