The hypocrisy is staggering
Dear Reader,
What’s the cost of expressing an inconvenient opinion? For Justice Shekhar Yadav, it's being in the crosshairs of 13 senior advocates who want the CBI to punish him for one such speech.
The same lawyers who champion free speech now demand a judge’s voice be silenced.
The hypocrisy is staggering: they once decried the CBI as a political weapon but now want it turned into a tool to silence a judge who refuses to bow to their ideological orthodoxy
This attack on Justice Yadav is more than just a vendetta. It’s a warning to anyone who dares to think independently or not toe the line.
If free speech can be criminalized for judges, what about the rest of us?
The following piece by Shubhendu Anand and Aayush Pandey delves into this dangerous precedent and the hypocrisy fueling it. It’s a must-read for anyone who values the independence of our judiciary and democracy — The Ideological Elite Wants Justice Shekhar Yadav Silenced
