BY A STAFF REPORTER: Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the Supreme Court's verdict on the 1998 JMM bribery case on 4th March, Monday.
Taking it to his X handle, PM Modi lauded SC's judgment and assured clean politics. He also assured deepening people's faith in the system.
The move comes after the Apex Court overturned its judgment on the 1998 JMM bribery case. The case involved a few JMM MPs accepting bribes to vote against a no-confidence motion, saving the PV Narasimha Rao government in 1993. As per the latest verdict, MPs and MLAs are not immune from prosecution for accepting bribes to make speeches or vote in the legislature.
