Minister of State Baghel’s department also changed
Keep in mind that Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday made a major change in his cabinet and removed Kiren Rijiju from the post of Law Minister. In his place, Arjun Ram Meghwal has been given the responsibility of Law Ministry. At the same time, the ministry of SP Singh Baghel, who was the Minister of State in the Law Ministry, was also changed. He will now be the Minister of State for Health. Mansukh Mandaviya will be his senior as the Health Minister.
Change due to clash with judiciary?
It is being told that the law ministry has been snatched from Kiren Rijiju due to his constant confrontation with the judiciary. The government does not want to clash with the judiciary in an election year. On the advice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Draupadi Murmu has approved this change in the Modi cabinet. In place of Rijiju, Arjun Ram Meghwal will take charge of the Ministry of Law and Justice. He has been given independent charge as Minister of State in the Ministry of Law and Justice along with his current ministry.
tussle between the government and the judiciary
There were many differences between the government and the judiciary regarding the appointment of judges. At a media event last year, he had said that judges recommend appointments or promotions only to those they know, not always the most qualified. Also, in November last year, Rijiju attacked the system of appointment of Supreme Court and High Court judges, saying the collegium system was alien to the Constitution. In February, the apex court had warned the central government over delay in approving the transfer of high court judges recommended by the Supreme Court collegium. The Supreme Court had said that if the approval is not given then administrative and judicial actions can be taken which will not be good.
