‘Kejriwal is a bully’: Bansuri Swaraj after Delhi high court judge refuses to recuse

‘Kejriwal is a bully’: Bansuri Swaraj after Delhi high court judge refuses to recuse NEW DELHI: A political flashpoint erupted on Tuesday after Arvind Kejriwal’s plea seeking the recusal of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma in the Delhi excise policy case was dismissed by the Delhi High Court a day earlier, prompting a sharp attack from BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj. Reacting to the court’s decision, Swaraj accused the AAP chief of attempting to pressure the judiciary. “Arvind Kejriwal is a bully. You tried to pressurise a female member of the judiciary of this country,” she said, adding that the court’s refusal to transfer the case exposed what she described as AAP’s “politics of creating pressure on the judiciary”. She further alleged that the party functioned like a “drama company” with Kejriwal as its “director”. She added, " "Arvind Kejriwal seems to have forgotten that the judicial system of this country does not function according to his convenience. It functions under the law and the Constitution of India. Immediately after the order on 9th March, he filed an application on 11th March before the chief justice of the Delhi high court, requesting that the case be transferred away from Justice Swarana Kanta. Because he did not like the order passed on 9th March." A day earlier, Justice Sharma rejected the recusal plea filed by Kejriwal and other leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party, observing that the claims were “based on conjectures and insinuations”.
