Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari on Rahul Gandhi's statement that the ordinance was nonsense:
"If Rahul Gandhi has said something, it is not in my knowledge. You have just informed me about it, we will take cognisance of its (his words) and whatever response needs to be given on it, that will be given," Tewari said.
"If you see from legal point of view, it has been often noticed that subordinates courts, whatever decisions they take, superior courts take note of that and most of the times it has been found that superior courts overrule lower court judgements, he said.
"So the judiciary is a structure and according to that structure if a higher court stays a decision by lower court, then the principle of natural justice should be followed," Tewari said in support of the ordinance.
"What is the response on it by our Vice President (Rahul Gandhi), that is not in my cognisance. We will give you any response needed on it," the Minister said.
