Buying oil from Russia depends on the market

Apart from this, in the matter of purchasing crude oil from Russia, he said that we do not ask our companies to buy Russian oil. We ask them to buy whatever is the best option for them. It depends on the market, it is a sensible policy where we get the best deal in the interest of the Indian people.
Dhankhar reminded the judiciary of Lakshman Rekha
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has once again targeted the Supreme Court. In his first address as Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, Dhankhar raised the issue of the National Judicial Appointments Act (NJAC). He said that the 99th Constitutional Amendment Bill for the bill was passed by both the Houses of Parliament in 2014. This bill was rejected by the court in 2015. The Vice President termed it a serious compromise with parliamentary sovereignty.
He said- This is disrespectful to the mandate, whose guardians are the Upper House (Rajya Sabha) and the Lok Sabha. He said that a law passed by Parliament, which reflected the will of the people, was struck down by the Supreme Court and the world was not aware of any such move. It is a matter of concern that this very important issue has not received the attention of the Parliament. This law was about giving more powers to the government in the appointment of judges.
