Attack on CJI has ‘angered every Indian’: PM Narendra Modi's first reaction on Supreme Court drama
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the attempted attack on the Chief Justice of India (CJI) B R Gavai on Monday in the Supreme Court has ‘angered every Indian'.
In a post on social media platform X, the PM said, “Spoke to Chief Justice of India, Justice BR Gavai Ji. The attack on him earlier today in the Supreme Court premises has angered every Indian. There is no place for such reprehensible acts in our society. It is utterly condemnable.”
Modi also praised the calm and restraint shown by the CJI when the attempt was made.
“I appreciated the calm displayed by Justice Gavai in the face of such a situation. It highlights his commitment to values of justice and strengthening the spirit of our Constitution,” he said in his post.
The CJI reportedly did not lose his calm in the courtroom and told the others present, “Don't get distracted by all this. We are not distracted. These things do not affect me.”
