Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday expressed concern over the nature of political discourse witnessed in the past few years and called for fast-tracking of criminal cases against politicians.
Mr. Naidu was speaking at the Hyderabad Management Association’s 46th Annual Awards 2018 where he handed out awards under various categories.
“Criminal cases against politicians must be decided quickly by special benches of the High Courts in a time-bound manner. If need be, separate benches may be set up to expedite such cases within six months or one year,” he said, as he suggested that the government and judiciary enter into a dialogue and find common ground to deal with such cases.
