New Delhi: Days after the Supreme Court ticked off his ministry for sleeping like ‘Kumbhakarna’, environment minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said “off the cuffs remarks” made by the Supreme Court “sometimes hurt” the government.
Javadekar, who is also the MoS for parliamentary affairs, also said it was a “bit sad” when the Supreme Court questioned the government on Leader of Opposition issue. He insisted that three pillars of democracy judiciary, executive and legislature should work in a balanced manner to solve all problems related to people of the country. The minister stated this while delivering his address at the 4th foundation day celebrations of the National Green Tribunal here in which SC judge Ranjan Gogoi was the chief guest. “At times off the cuff (remarks) come and it is for judiciary to think about it. Sometimes it hurts unnecessarily,” he said.
