Warning of consequences on democratic order, the organisation has said that relativising constitutional requirements puts the country in a dangerous trajectory.
“Such an approach is not only irresponsible but dangerous for democratic order, because it normalises violations and places the country in a trajectory where constitutional norms are replaced by political arbitrariat”, it is said in response.
