Referring to the developments in UP after the polls, he said the Constitution is under "threat" and those who cannot see the motive behind appointment of Aditya Nath are either spokespersons of political parties or they must get their head and eyes examined.
"The prime minister may deny it but that is my assumption that appointing a particular person...As the chief minister is in itself an indication that he wishes to propogate a religious state," Nariman said in an interview to NDTV.
Asked which citizens' rights does he worry about or are under threat, he said, "The Consitution is under threat. With the massive electoral victory in UP, a priest has been installed as the chief minister at the insistence of the prime minister... Is a signal and if you cannot see then either you are the spokespersons of political parties or you must have your head or eyes examined."
Nariman, who lauded Modi for his remarkable and fantastic energy level, however, said he does not accept all policies of the prime minister.
