The Union Minister said that the Vice Presidential election process is going on. A few days ago, some retired judges launched a signature campaign and made comments against the Home Minister. He has written against the Home Minister. This is not correct … This is the election of the Vice President. Why do retired judges want to get into it? From this, it seems that when he was a (working) judge, his ideology must have been different. Otherwise, it is not right to write a letter against the Home Minister and run a signature campaign.
After the opposition’s criticism by Union Home Minister Amit Shah to make the alleged leftist supporter his candidate, retired judge came in support of Justice B Sudarshan Reddy. The verdict of July 2011, which was written by Justice Reddy with Justice SS Nijjar, dissolved Salwa Judum in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, describing it as illegal and unconstitutional. Earlier on Friday, Hitesh Jain, a member of the 23rd Law Commission of India, criticized retired judges of the Supreme Court, alleging that some of them were openly behaving like political activists.
