A lawyer, Rakesh Kishore, threw a shoe at the Chief Justice of India, B R Gawai, inside the open court. The lawyer claimed the act was a protest, stating he "won’t tolerate the insult of Sanatan Dharma," referencing a prior observation by the CJI. Following the incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with the Chief Justice and condemned the attack. While the CJI reportedly does not wish to press charges, the Bar Council of India has suspended the lawyer’s license. Former Attorney General Mukul Rodgi commented on the matter, stating, "The lawyer was politicizing the issue and maybe using the court as a platform to vent his grievances." The event has prompted condemnation and raised concerns about the politicization of the judiciary, with legal experts and political figures discussing the implications for judicial independence. #cjiattack #supremecourt #chiefjusticeofindia #sanatandharma #contemptofcourt #lawandjustice #indianjudiciary #mukulrodgi #narendramodi #barcouncil #indiatoday #news #currentaffairs #brgawai #lawyersuspended
