STATEMENT ON THE PM's OBSERVATION ON THE SUPREME COURT, MADE IN EDITORS' CONFERENCE ON 6th SEPTEMBER, 2010 The Right to Food Campaign is shocked at the Prime Minister's statement made to the editors' conference on 6th September, 2010, stating that the Supreme Court must not interfere with policy. We are glad that the PM has finally spoken up on the food issue, as it has ended up further confirming that this Government is so completely anti-poor. We believe that when within a democracy, people use their rights which have been enshrined in the Indian Constitution - the right to life, right to freedom of speech and expression as well as right to approach courts -, the Head of the Indian Executive, does not want the fundamental right of the people to be realised, and worse, he interferes with their right to get justice!. We condemn his comments that are likely to have a cascading effect down the bureaucratic chain and may lead to questioning of judicial intervention.
