No question of referendum in Indian constitution: CJI to Kapil Sibal on Article 370 PIL

A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by CJI D Y Chandrachud is hearing petitions challenging the changes made to Article 370 of the Constitution that gave special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. Here's what happened when Kapil Sibal tried to draw a Brexit-like analogy with the abrogation of Article 370

Sound is measured by decibels, nonsense is measured by Sibals

[rajeev]

This is how intellectuals define themselves..be anti National, Be Anti majority, Be woke!! Kapil Sibbal is a perfect example of intellect gone rogue

[subhajitbanerjee]

Kapil sibal and Abhishek singhvi, the two advocates accept all the unethical and controversial cases

[jyotiprakashsingh]

My greatest respect to hon'ble CJI sir.

[BooOoOoOoOooOoOoyah]

Such anti-nationals should not have a place in our country, such people are more dangerous than hostile countries.

CJI Chandrachud rightly educated Kapil sibal. It was not people decision that article 370 was introduced by then majority congress party. Sibal can't question about majority BJP abrogating it now. It's democracy n the ruling elected body with majority took decision n executed. Kashmir is progressing n congress wants Kashmir people to sacrifice n enslave their lives n children future for Congress. Well responded by the honorable CJI

Kapil regrets that Indira Ghandy did not take the opinion of people while declaring Emergency

[adityagandhi]

I may have bias against CJI
but he points out the gullibility of this Clown very succinctly 😂

[vaibhavmishraallinone]

Congress ka level itna gir gaya ki Government ka oppose kerte time desh ka oppose ker baithte hai, RIP Congress

[srinivasduv]

Brexit is the wrong example. In our case Sibal thinks that JK should be treated as if it wants to peel off from the Union of India. Waste of time!

[vrishalisonar]

He is in court and still making political points.

[SAURABH]

Future generation will remember who is against INDIA or with INDIA>

[krishnanunnimadathil]

Ambedkar had specifically banned referenda as a means of expression of opinion due to it being liable to manipulation and emotional outbursts rather than proper consideration, especially in the wake of the Partition.

Even Brexit is being seen as a big mistake across most of even Britain.

[sympathiser_of_Germans_in_s]

Mr. Sibal and Mr. Sighvi are not cheap lawyers they charge as much as a middle class man makes in a year just for a few appearance. In light of this information I just want to know who is funding this case?

[souravmondal]

Referendum is always demanded by Pakistan now demanded by Sibbal, ,so I think there is no difference between Pak and sibbal

[hemanthmysore]

The choice of words by Sibbal is very smartly used to break India, Like "Union of India".

[S_N]

Why are the judges so polite with him? Kapil has to be put in his place. He is cutting the Judges as they speak. Contempt of Court!! Send him in Thane Jail for 3 years

[praveenmr]

Every true Indian must just see this and understand what congress can do to this nation and people ....

[blinkiblue]

kapil sibal is a spent fuel no one in india listen to him so now he is trying to appease pakistani....rest in peace old man.

Referendum is only chosen when the parliament is unable to take a decision. So the lawmakers decide to give the decision to people directly. But in India it's not like that, parliament can pass resolutions
