New Delhi: Lawyers held a protest march at the Tis Hazari Court complex, in New Delhi, strongly condemning the recent casteist attack on the Dalit Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, a large number of lawyers joined the demonstration, which began at the Central Hall of the court premises and passed through various blocks before culminating in a meeting on the civil side of the complex.<\/p>\n
The protesters carried placards and raised slogans such as \u201cDown with casteist attacks on the CJI!\u201d and \u201cDown with the inaction of the Modi government!\u201d. The protest march was addressed by Poonam Kaushik, Chander Nigam, and Nitin Gautam.<\/p>\n
Addressing the gathering, the speakers strongly criticised the Modi government\u2019s \u201ccomplete inaction\u201d following what they described as a serious and unprecedented assault on the dignity of the country\u2019s highest judicial office. They expressed concern that, despite the gravity of the incident, no FIR had been registered so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government\u2019s silence amounts to an attempt to intimidate and undermine the judiciary for performing its constitutional duties,\u201d said Advocate Kaushik. \u201cBy refusing to act, the central government is effectively standing with the perpetrators of caste-based violence and discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n
The speakers also accused the ruling dispensation of perpetuating a \u201cmanuvadi mindset\u201d over the past eleven years, during which, they said, governments at both the central and state levels have often shielded or rewarded those accused of heinous crimes against women and marginalised communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, even acts of caste hatred are being brazenly allowed against those holding the highest constitutional positions,\u201d one speaker remarked.<\/p>\n
The lawyers reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to defending constitutional values, protecting judicial independence, and opposing all forms of caste-based hatred and violence. The organisation also called upon \u201call justice-loving citizens\u201d to unite in condemning the government\u2019s inaction over the casteist attack on the Chief Justice of India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
