Seven opposition parties led by Congress met Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu on Friday and submitted an impeachment motion for the removal of Chief Justice Dipak Misra. “We have moved an impeachment motion for removal of CJI Dipak Misra under five listed grounds,” Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad told a press conference after meeting Vice President Naidu.
Congress stated that the concern of all those who’ve signed the impeachment notice is that democracy is being undermined.
“It is a sad letter day in India’s history. The suspicious circumstances in which Loya died, was a matter of deep concern for those who have faith in the judiciary. The copy of the entire judgment is not yet available. But there are still questions before those who believe in the judiciary,” said Congress spokesman RS Surjewala.
The move comes in the wake of Supreme Court verdict of yesterday, which dismissed the PILs for an investigation into the death of CBI judge BH Loya.
