He said, <br />
<br />
''“If Judiciary is finished, democracy will be finished. This bill (National Judicial Appointments Commission) affects the independence of the judiciary, there is no doubt about it. The way Governors are being transferred to Mizoram, the Chief Justices and judges of the HCs will be transferred to newly created HCs in North East. No judge will be able to pass strong orders."''<ref>{{Cite news|last=Singh|first=Ajmer|title=Judges could meet the same fate as Governors: Justice BN Agrawal|work=The Economic Times|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/judges-could-meet-the-same-fate-as-governors-justice-bn-agrawal/articleshow/40956296.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst|access-date=2021-04-05}}</ref><br />
