CJI hails dissent, says state must support weaker population

IndiaTimes Saturday, 2 December 2023
Chief Justice of India emphasizes the importance of dissenters and challenges to prevailing majoritarian views in society. Dissent nourishes democracy and a society will fail and not progress if dissent is suppressed. The State must support the weaker population, whether numerical or social minority, and allow them to have a say in the decision-making process. Dissents, even if unpopular and unacceptable, have the power to spark important conversations and fundamentally restructure society.

Lawyers’ letter to CJI: PM Modi reacts, calls ‘bullying’ typical of Congress culture | Oneindia

After approximately 600 lawyers sent a letter to the Chief Justice of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the Congress party on Thursday. "Using intimidation tactics is typical of Congress culture. Five decades ago, they advocated for a 'committed judiciary' – they shamelessly demand commitment from others for their own selfish interests but refuse to commit to the nation," the PM stated in a post on X. "It's no surprise that 1.4 billion Indians are turning away from them," he concluded. #DYChandrachud #HarishSalve #Pinkyanand #VestedGroup #SupremeCourtofIndia #Letter #SupremeCourt #IndianLaw #LokSabhaElections #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.102~
