Kapil Sibal said ( about Jamia Milia Islamia ) : "Police brutality in Jamia library, December 15 (Tape). When policemen hide the truth. When there's no dialogue with the youth. When speeches are uncouth. When government becomes a sleuth. And data is full of 'jhooth' (lies). Slowly democracy will weaken at its roots,"

I am happy that the Finance Minister recognised the fact that fiscal deficit is 3.8 per cent but she should also tell the country if you add the deficit of Union of India plus the state is more than 8 per cent that is a worrisome situation,"

Kapil Sibal said : "Media has put up a story that ED told them that CAA protests are funded by PFI and part of that funding has come to some advocates, including me. I wish both the media and those who leaked these stories did a bit of homework because they wouldn't have leaked it otherwise. But I think there is a motive behind it. The motive is very simple, destroy people's reputation by lies, lies and more lies. This seems to be part of their propaganda machine, supported by this govt and taken over by media 'bhakts' on social media,"

This is one of the greatest failures of our foreign policy that they (government) were not able to explain. It is the result of the discontent among the millions of people in this country, who fear consequences of the Citizenship Amendment Act as their citizenship will be questioned,"

When the economy is not functioning, when unemployment is at a such high level when our farmers are not getting anything, all that is being done is attempting to get foreign investment even by destroying the ordinary traders of this country,"

Whereas in the President’s address to the joint session of Parliament on June 20, 2019, the NRC implementation primarily was announced,” “Fourth lie - The process of NRC was neither notified nor is it legal. This is a complete lie because, when NRC was adopted in 2003, Article 14 (a) mentions it as being legal and that it will give identity card to every citizen of the country. Fifth lie - NRC is yet to begin. NRC commencement notification has been issued effective April 1”

The 2003 rules under clause 14... tell you how this is to be implemented. If you want to have a Citizenship (Amendment) Act which is fine, which is an Act, if you want to decide who is a citizen, who is not... you have to go through the NPR”

Kapil Sibal told : "I think it's a historic decision and this will serve the country as it's a great step in a march towards democracy and transparency. The court has taken cognizance of the fact that the power of the government is not unlimited in matters of this nature, especially in relation to freedom of expression. The court has said that internet freedom is a part of freedom of expression and therefore you can't curb it in the manner in which it was done and that there is to be a constant review of any restrictions that are imposed on the internet,"

Facts must be set out in the order itself so that the order can go up for judicial review. In this particular case, no facts were demonstrated in any of the orders under Section 144," "The Supreme Court has said that all the decisions made by the government with respect to the internet under the telecom rules, with respect to orders under Section 144...all orders that they have made that have imposed bans must be now put up in the public domain within one week so that people get a chance to actually challenge those orders,"

Internet ban has been used in this country more than perhaps any other nation of the world. Even in nations that are reflected by the terrorist activities, the ban of the internet has not been so frequently used there as it has been used in India. That's a very sad state of affairs,"
