Here are the excerpts of the order given by Vice President Venkaiah Naidu rejecting Opposition's impeachment plea against CJI Dipak Misra:
Referring to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s remark on Opposition’s impeachment notice, Surjewala said that the “revenge petition” has now become “rescue order”.
After extensive consultations with top legal and constitutional experts, Naidu termed all five allegations made against the CJI as neither 'tenable nor admissible'.
Naidu said in an order today that he had detailed personal conversation on all the aspects arising from the notice and had considered each of the allegations made in it individually as well as collectively.
The Congress was also trying to build up "moral pressure" on the Chief Justice of India in the hope that he would step aside from judicial duty if an impeachment motion was moved against him.
The vice president cut short his visit to Hyderabad and reached here to hold deliberations over the notice given by the seven opposition parties.
Naidu said educational institutions up to university level need to reorient their syllabi and methods of teaching to prepare students for the future who will not only have to be articulate and self-confident but also well-equipped to face the challenges of the 21st century.
"People who write articles from Delhi, the leaders who speak negatively about our forces they should understand the adverse conditions and climate that these (security forces) people are operating in," Naidu said at the 'Valour Day' event of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
Correcting the House records, Naidu said the bill to amend the anti-graft law was the one reported by the Select Committee of the House.
Naidu's remarks came when the house met for the day and and the opposition parties refused to heed his repeated requests to allow the house to function so that some important bills could be passed.
Naidu's observation came as he presided over a meeting of Rajya Sabha's Hindi Committee that met on Tuesday after a gap of three-and-a-half years.
Naidu said that persisting with disruptions for three weeks had no justification.
The state celebrates Bihar Diwas on March 22, every year, to commemorate the date on which the province came into being.
To mark this special occasion, PM Narendra Modi joined several others on social media stressing the importance of water conservation.
The Karnataka cabinet had on Monday granted the long-demanded status of a separate religion to Lingayat community that forms 17 per cent of the state's population.
According to sources, preparations for the dinner were completed last week. Naidu had even spoken to the President, the PM, the Leader of the House, the Leader of Opposition and floor leaders of various parties whom he had invited.
Expressing anguish over the events (frequent disruptions) in Parliament and state legislatures, Naidu, quoting Mahatma Gandhi, said there was no place for violence in legislatures.
Naidu called the floor leaders of different parties to his chamber after the first adjournment in the day. The agitating members reportedly told the Chairman that they would speak with their leadership and get back.
Soon after the papers were laid on the table in the morning as the House met for the day, Naidu gave a brief lecture to the MPs on the need to discuss issues on the floor of the house instead of disrupting the proceedings.
The call was made to an airline operating flights between here and Hyderabad, and security measures have been put in place, officials said.
