NEW DELHI: (Mar 25) The Delhi High Court on Tuesday said the courts and the Lok Sabha Speaker are not powerless and are strong enough to keep Jammu and Kashmir MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh, who is in jail in a terror funding case, bound by the law in Parliament.
The HC, which later reserved its order on the plea of the Independent MP from Baramulla to attend the ongoing Parliament session, discounted the National Investigation Agency’s fears that they will not have any control over the accused once he enters the precincts of Parliament.
“I would only say let’s not see ghosts, Let’s not feel so powerless that ‘oh my God inside Parliament he will do this or that’. He will be in our custody. Our arms are long enough and strong enough to keep him in line.
