A day after a group of former judges and bureaucrats wrote an open letter criticising the recent observations of the Supreme Court in the hearing of the case pertaining to the suspended BJP leader, Nupur Sharma, the CPI has urged Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana to respond to the issue.
Addressing the media here on Wednesday, CPI national secretary K. Narayana said, “The CJI may not have been there in the country at that time. The CJI is a part of the judicial system, and the issues raised by the intellectuals pertain to the system as a whole. Today, there may be open letters, but tomorrow people may raise their voice against it.”
Stating that the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre too was silent on the open letter, Mr. Narayana alleged that the BJP was trying to turn the tide in its favour.
