Judges including former Supreme Court and High Court judges, have come together to strongly defend Chief Justice of India Surya Kant after what they describe as a “motivated campaign” targeting his recent remarks on Rohingya refugees. The group of 44 retired judges condemned the ongoing criticisms of CJI Surya Kant, who had made the comments during a hearing, and argued that attempts were being made to malign the judiciary and attribute political motives to his actions.
