Judiciary should be both powerful and perfect: Modi
New Delhi, Apr 5 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called for a powerful and perfect judiciary while addressing the inauguration of the Joint Conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts in New Delhi.
"Judiciary should be both powerful and perfect. We are going on increasing our power. But We also need to remember to become perfect even as we get more powerful," Modi said addressing the gathering.
He said there is a need to enhance the quality of the legal education system in India.
Modi said people have deposed lot of faith in judiciary.
"People in the law and order industry are doing work that is divine, work that God wants you to do. People in law and order have responsibilities, they are people who other people look up to," Modi said.
The PM said India has enough laws and it is the responsibility of the government to carry out its functions.
"The people elect us and send us to make laws. But our time is taken up by other things. You all know what happens in Parliament. There is now a trend of going on making new laws. We have enough laws. Our Constitution has given us enough laws to carry out our functions," he said as he called to strengthen the judicial system.
Modi said progressive laws are required and added that: "We cannot compromise with law and judiciary."
He said he will work towards scrapping all unwanted laws in the country.
"My focus is to do away with laws that are unnecessary. I have set up a committee to recommend which laws can be done away with. We have Cabinet sanction to do away with 700 such unnecessary laws," said he.
