Sibal's 'Constitution' retort to VP Dhankhar's 'Parliament is supreme' take
Tuesday, 22 April 2025 Kapil Sibal has strongly countered Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's assertion that Parliament is supreme, emphasizing that the Constitution holds the highest authority. This response follows Dhankhar's remarks at a Delhi University event, where he stated elected representatives are the 'ultimate masters' of constitutional content. Sibal further clarified that the Supreme Court is responsible for interpreting the Constitution's provisions.
New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights.
