The Congress on Tuesday termed ‘sad’ and ‘deplorable’ the statement by an RSS leader in which he said the press conference by the four Supreme Court judges was a political conspiracy.
In a post on social media, AICC media in charge Randeep Surjewala said, ”Sad & deplorable! BJP attacks judiciary through RSS functionaries.
All the ‘Nation’ wants is the issues raised by the senior most judges to be resolved, but for which ‘democracy’ is in peril. BJP Govt should help resolution then muddle & polarise.
”
Days after four senior judges had targetted Chief Justice Dipak Misra, a senior RSS leader claimed that there was a political conspiracy behind the much-debated press conference on January 12.
A senior functionary of the RSS, pointing to its “critical timing”, has said what “they have done is unforgivable” because “they have tried to attack the uncompromising faith of the people in the judicial system”.
J Nandakumar, Akhil Bharatiya Sah Boudhik Pramukh of the RSS, in a Facebook post January 13, has slammed the four judges for “poisoning the waters”. He has alleged that the public attack against the CJI closely followed his order to reopen cases relating to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He has also pointed out that Congress leader and senior lawyer Kapil Sibal was pulled up for seeking deferment of the Ayodhya title suit case till after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
