While attending Central Government Law Officers' Conference at Bhubaneshwar, on Sunday the Union Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju said that It is unfortunate that there are abuses in the social media platforms about the judges and people are calling them by their names.

The Minister expressed concerns about personal attacks and name-callings against judges on social media platforms. He further mentioned that living in the Democratic Country the government of India can be questioned but it is not the right thing or a good sight when the judiciary comes under any kind of accusations or attacks. 

"Some people want to force the judiciary to play the role of an opposition party. Indian judiciary will never accept this. I can tell you Indian judiciary itself will resist these forceful attempts to make the Indian judiciary play the role of an opposition party. It can never happen", the Minister added.

Further, he said, Judiciary must be far away from public criticism.
