Never had the privilege to be in a Court - PM Modi
ADDRESSING the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of Delhi High Court yesterday, the Prime Minister said,
I never had the privilege to go to a court but I have heard that the atmosphere there is solemn. Perhaps its influence is seen here too. We are celebrating the golden jubilee. Smile a little. I understand the solemnity on the dais so that no wrong perception is created. But here (among audience), I don't think there is any problem.
The Prime Minister referred to the contribution of several people in the last fifty years like the ones who used to do typing under the trees; or those who sat on the dais and dispensed justice or even those who supplied tea in the premises.
The Prime Minister said, "we take up most of the time of the judiciary - we means not Modi, but Government - Government is the biggest litigant." He told the babus "if a teacher goes to court and gets justice, give that benefit to ten thousand other teachers." The Prime Minister wondered why it is not done.
