Arjun Ram Meghwal announced that justice should be served to all shortly after taking over the Law and Justice Ministry.
Talking to the media, he said “Justice should be served to all and cases pending in courts should be as less as possible”. He responded to a media question about the purported conflict between the judiciary and the central government by saying that there is no difference between them.
Meghwal also clarified that the forthcoming Rajasthan assembly elections were unrelated to his appointment as the minister of law. As Kiren Rijiju’s replacement, Arjun Ram Meghwal assumed independent responsibility at the Ministry of Law and Justice on Thursday.
As Minister of State (Independent charge) of Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal received good wishes from Kiren Rijiju. Kiren Rijiju has since moved to the Ministry of Earth Sciences from the Ministry of Law and Justice.
After being reshuffled and having his portfolio transferred from the Ministry of Law and Justice to the Ministry of Earth and Sciences, MP Kiren Rijiju said it had been an honor to serve as the Union Minister of Law and Justice.
“It has been a privilege and an honour to serve as Union Minister of Law and Justice under the guidance of Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi ji,” Rijiju said.
Rijiju expressed his gratitude to the Chief Justice of India, Dr. Justice DY Chandrachud as well as other judges and told “I thank Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, all Judges of the Supreme Court, Chief Justices and Judges of High Courts, Lower Judiciary and entire Law officers for the huge support in ensuring delivering ease of Justice and providing legal services for our citizens.”
Kiren went on to say “I look forward to fulfilling the vision of Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi ji in the Earth Sciences Ministry with the same zeal and vigour I have imbibed as a humble karyakarta of BJP,”
