The situation is bound to get worse if the government decides to do away with the 17th amendment along with the proposed amendments to the Constitution as then we will be having an all-powerful dictator and not an elected president, just like the Frankenstein's monster.

This is a dangerous trend and demonstrates the paramount importance of implementing the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, particularly the appointment of the Constitutional Council. The Public Service including the Police is already politicised and now tha last bastion of protection of Citizens' rights, the Judiciary is being affected. Where is this country heading? Who will want to invest in a country where the Judiciary is not independent? Members of the Legislature irrespective of Party affiliations must look at this issue seriously

I am very much overjoyed with the news.Mr. RW.now show Uer clours as the leader of the opposition.U are also lawyer. I am also a lawyer. Our incumbent duty is to safeguard the the judiciary for at least to the unborn generation. Some of this wreathed so called judges have been the puppets of the rulers seeking money or some other benefits notwithstanding the safeguarding the temple of justice Thank U Kautilya.
