Supreme Court judge Justice Arun Mishra on Saturday was all praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and termed him an “internationally acclaimed visionary” and a “versatile genius, who thinks globally and acts locally”.
Complimenting the PM and the Union Law Minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad, for doing away with 1,500 obsolete laws, Justice Mishra said India is a responsible and most friendly member of the international community under the “stewardship” of Modi.
Delivering the vote of thanks at the inaugural function of the International Judicial Conference 2020 — ‘Judiciary and the Changing World’ at the Supreme Court, he said challenges faced by the judiciary at the national and international levels are common and judiciary has a “significant role” in the everchanging world.
“Dignified human existence is our prime concern. We thank the versatile genius, who thinks globally and acts locally, Narendra Modi, for his inspiring speech which would act as a catalyst in initiating the deliberations and setting the agenda for the conference,” Justice Mishra, who is third in seniority in the apex court, said while expressing gratitude to the PM for inaugurating the conference.
He said India is the biggest democracy in the world and “people wonder how this democracy is functioning so successfully”.
“India is a responsible and most friendly member of the international community under the stewardship of internationally acclaimed visionary Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he said.
“India is committed to constitutional obligations and dedicated to a peaceful and secure world, free from terrorism. In the process of development, preservation of environment is considered supreme,” he said.
Justice Mishra emphasised on the need to strengthen the judicial system, saying, “Now we are in the 21st century. We are looking for modern infrastructure not only for the present but also for future.
“To strengthen judicial system is the call of the day as it is the backbone of democracy whereas legislature is the heart and executive is the brain. All these three organs of the state have to work independently but in tandem to make democracy successful...”.
