Anti SIR Protest: Kerala Congress Demands CJI Surya Kant's Resignation | Dr. Manish Kr | Capital TV

The Kerala unit of the Congress party faced severe backlash after deleting a controversial social media post that demanded the resignation of Supreme Court judge Justice Surya Kant. The demand was reportedly triggered by his recent remarks concerning law and order during protests against the Central Election Commission. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju strongly condemned the incident, accusing the opposition party of directly targeting the judiciary and attempting to undermine foundational democratic and constitutional institutions in the country. The political controversy has sparked a heated debate regarding judicial independence and the limits of political criticism against members of the apex court. While the social media post was eventually removed by the party handlers, the fallout continues to draw sharp reactions from ruling party leaders who maintain that such actions set a dangerous precedent for Indian democracy.
