Pointing to the tenure extension order which goes against the Supreme court order, he said, “Now the Narendra Modi government has ridiculed the court order and started acting on its own accord. It is arbitrary to choose the emergency legal system without even taking the opportunity to discuss it in Parliament. This decision is a challenge to democracy.”
