Rajya Sabha member Upendra Kushwaha on Tuesday attacked the collegium system for appointing judges and alleged that it prevented those from backward groups from being appointed in the higher judiciary. The Rashtriya Lok Morcha leader, who recently took oath as a Rajya Sabha member from Bihar, said at a press conference that the «lack of democracy in the judiciary» would be among the issues he would raise in Parliament.

He also said that there was no problem with the sub-categorisation of Scheduled Castes (SCs) but added that there should be no concept of a «creamy layer» even within Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
«There is no democracy in judiciary and that is unfortunate. We are a democracy but it's an irony that one of the biggest institutions, the judiciary, does not have a democratic system for appointing judges,» Kushwaha said.
«Usually people who are well connected get appointed as judges. Those from the Dalit and backward sectors rarely become a judge,» he claimed.
