About
Kiren Rijiju is a four-time Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal West and BJP's most prominent face from the Northeast. He has held multiple Union Cabinet portfolios including Law & Justice (2021–2023), Earth Sciences (2023–2024), and Parliamentary Affairs & Minority Affairs (2024–). As Law Minister, he was at the centre of a public controversy over the Supreme Court collegium system, openly criticising the judiciary's appointment process — an unusual stance for a sitting Law Minister.
