Liberty Is Dead In India, Anybody Can Be Arrested Anytime & Courts Won't Grant Bail; PMLA Is An Instrument Of Oppression: Kapil Sibal

Live Law  

In an interview with veteran journalist Nidhi Razdan, Senior Advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal recently said the Prevention of Money Laundering Act is being used as an instrument of oppression by the government. When Razdan pointed out that despite directions of the Supreme Court to curb hate speech, it is still rampant, Sibal responded “people defy the Supreme Court. But some judges are extraordinary, they do whatever they can.” When asked about the recent rulings of the Supreme Court that have upheld and strengthened provisions of the PMLA and the UAPA, Sibal said “we talk about the rule of law, which is fundamental to democracy. If you give support to somebody you are part of that.” When asked about Umar Khalid's bail plea in a case under the UAPA in connection with the Delhi Riots, which has been pending for over 3 years, Sibal said the matter is coming up in the Supreme Court soon and he did not wish to comment on it.
