Congress undecided over impeachment motion against CJI Dipak Mishra

While Congress’ Rahul Gandhi showed support for the four judges, questioning the functioning of the SC, the party has not yet made claims to oust the CJI.

With the Communist Party of India (Marxist) planning to censure Chief justice of India Dipak Mishra, the Congress is yet to take a stand on whether to support the Left’s move to bring in an impeachment motion against the CJI.

The CPI(M) has been hitting out at CJI Mishra after four Supreme Court judges questioned the functioning of the apex court, claiming that the democracy in the country was in danger.

“Unless there are proper grounds, solid grounds… on concrete terms, you cannot go in for impeachment. There is no sufficient ground…. Unless evidence is available, I don’t think it is proper to go for the impeachment of the CJI…. It is not going to serve the purpose. It is not a political issue…. Going for the impeachment of the CJI should not be a political issue. It should be a judicial issue,” said senior Congress leader and former Law Minister M Veerappa Moily.

And while Congress president Rahul Gandhi had showed support for the four judges, the party has not yet decided its stand on the issue of impeachment motion against the CJI.

Congress spokesperson RPN Singh said, “There are very important issues that have been raised by the Communist Party. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad and party leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge would talk to everybody and make their positions clear.”

Further stating that the judicial proceedings should not be politicised, Singh said, “We continue again to say that we will never politicise the judiciary of this country. They are a very important pillar of democracy and we have not politicised it nor raised any issue.”

Justifying the party’s decision to stand by the demands of the judges, Congress sources said it was to ensure that correctives are introduced by the judiciary itself and political parties should not join the issue.

Days back, four senior SC judges – including Justice J Chelameswar, the second senior judge after the Chief Justice of India – listed a litany of problems that they said are afflicting the country’s highest court and warned they could destroy Indian democracy.

“Sometimes administration of the Supreme Court is not in order and many things which are less than desirable have happened in the last few months. Unless this institution is preserved, democracy will not survive,” said Chelameswar.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal recieved threating messages today, May 20, which were witten on a poster. These posters were found at two metro stations of Delhi and inside the metro coaches.

Images of the statements appeared on social media, with at least two of them appearing on signboards carrying the names of the Patel Nagar and Rajiv Chowk metro stations, and several of them sticked on the walls of metro stations. However, it is yet to confirm that who did this.

According to a senior police officer, the incident has been brought to their attention and an inquiry has been started.

Following the appearance of threatening graffiti within the metro stations of Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar in the nation’s capital, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP were preparing an attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh claimed claimed that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) was the hub of the purported plot to target Arvind Kejriwal.

The BJP has been in a panic since Arvind Kejriwal’s release from jail. Right now, the BJP is preparing to strike Arvind Kejriwal with deadly intent. The prime minister’s office is the direct source of this plot. At the Metro stations in Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar, an attack threat against Kejriwal ji has been inscribed, according to Sanjay Singh’s statement today.

There have also reportedly been threatening messages scrawled inside metro trains.

AAP leader Atishi said the BJP is afraid of losing the next Lok Sabha elections in Delhi.  She claimed Arvind Kejriwal was targeted by the BJP through Swati Maliwal.

Meanwhile, the MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has a letter sent to the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Monday and demanded prompt and severe action in response to graffiti that had appeared on the Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar stations of the Delhi Metro.

Social media users have also posted pictures of the graffiti. Security guards are stationed 24/7 and these stations are covered by CCTV. Why don’t the cops take any action? The Cyber Cell is where? This indicates that the BJP is behind this, she claimed.

In light of the Lok Sabha elections, Kejriwal was granted interim relief by the Supreme Court earlier this month. On March 21, Kejriwal was taken into custody in relation to his purported involvement in the Delhi excise policy case.
