Opponents of Gowri’s Elevation Forgot Justices VR Krishna Ayer, K S Hegde and Baharul Islam


The Supreme Court has done a great service to the country by dismissing the petition filed by some advocates with vested interests against the elevation of Advocate LC Victoria Gowri (now)the judge of the Madras High Court. They have been so overactive to stop her swearing-in that they first mentioned the case on Monday morning but when it was to be listed on Friday, they became jittery and again mentioned on Tuesday morning to stop her swearing, which was slated at 10.35 am on the same day. As is normally seen that in such matters a group rather than a gang of lawyers, journalist and so-called intellectuals take up the cudgel to ensure that a plan that goes against their interests are frustrated.
The lawyers of the Madras High Court who filed their petition in the Supreme Court against LC Victoria Gowri and those who were ready to lap it up have actually shown disrespect to the decision of the Supreme Court collegium, utter disregard to the constitution, which provides for the liberty of thought and freedom of speech and expression to every citizen and vehemence of their opposition to the government in power at the Centre and particularly to justice Victoria Gowri. Although it is not the occasion to critique her statements and views about Christians and Islamicists, there is hardly anything to disagree with her. In fact, her opinion about the proselyting Christians and Jehadi Muslims is very mild because the reality is more alarming than what she said.
Perhaps these busybody Johnnies are not aware of the fact that famous Justice Dinshaw D Davar before becoming the judge of the Bombay High Court was the Advocate of Tilak Maharaj, but nobody raised an objection that why was he being elevated to the judgeship. So much so, MA Jinnah was appointed By Bal Gangadhar Tilak himself to conduct his case as the defence lawyer in 1897 in the Bombay High Court. This is being stated here to prove the point that a person playing the role of advocate casts off his colour and political ideology when s/he becomes a judge. Therefore, the maligning campaign started against Ms Gowri speaks of the sick mentality of the advocates and their supporters.
Those who were up in arms against Victoria’s appointment only remembered that she subscribed to a political philosophy but conveniently forgot that an eminent judge like VR Krishna Ayer was not only sympathetic to a political party but was a minister in the communist government of Kerala before becoming a judge. Similarly, Justice K S Hegde before being a judge in the Supreme Court was a Member of Parliament. After relinquishing the judgeship, he again swung into politics and became the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. Justice Baharul Islam was an MP before he was made the judge. There are examples galore of such judges who after demitting their offices became the MPs and even Ministers in many governments. Therefore, those who opposed the elevation of Justice Victoria Gowri can be called to be rabidly communal and anarchist otherwise they would not have behaved in such an imbecile manner as they did.

Comical Behaviour of Arvind Kejriwal

'Absurdity' has no limits as far as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is concerned. Just to avoid his appearance before the Enforcement Directorate, he is saying that there was no fault of his and yet why the ED has been sending notice after notice to him. Even a layperson cannot avoid appearing before the court or any authority on the grounds of the notice being sent wrong. Therefore, he cannot judge his case. Everybody knows that if any notice has been received by him/her from the court or any authority, it is for him/her to prove that he/she was not at fault. Nobody can prejudge himself/ herself. The summoned person has to prove innocence, but he/she cannot refuse to appear in the court or before the authority. But Kejriwal is an altogether different person, and he has already claimed himself to be ‘not guilty’ even without appearing before the ED. When Anna Hazare’s movement was at its peak at Jantar Mantar of New Delhi, I also used to go there as it was very near to

The conduct of Kejriwal and AAP Leaders is Repulsive and Lowest of the Low

 Twenty days have elapsed from the incarceration of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, firstly in ED’s custody and thereafter in judicial custody. L’ affaire Aam Adami Party and Arvind Kejriwal have been controversial for over a year. He and his party have been claiming from housetops for the purity and transparency in public life. But nobody ever imagined that AAP and particularly its leader Kejriwal would plumb to such an unfathomable depth of immorality and opacity. Now leaders of AAP are saying that Kejriwal will continue to run the government from jail. However, the question is how will it be feasible? Will it not be a gross violation of constitutional propriety? Mr Kejriwal had cocked the snook to the summons of the ED nine times and at long last he appeared at the directions  of the court. If he had nothing to conceal in the liquor gate scam, he could have appeared at the first call but always avoided appearing by saying that the summonses of the ED were nothing but tools

Hamas does not Deserve any support for its thrashing

       Israel and Hamas war started on 7 th October and has already taken the toll of more than 15 thousand human lives. In the past, no friction with Israel has lasted for more than a week but this time it is still continuing despite the passage of nearly six weeks’ time.  In fact, it is no longer a war but a relentless thrashing of the Hamas terrorists and their sympathisers in the Gaza Strip. According to the latest reports almost the entire Gaza Strip has been occupied by Israel’s forces. Hamas terrorists are hiding like rats in the tunnels, which they have constructed mainly under the hospitals to shield themselves. Terrorists are now targeting hospitals, killing innocent people and blaming Israel’s forces to gain sympathy from the world. But no country has till now come forward to join the war against Israel. Even Iran, Lebanon and Pakistan do not have the courage to face the wrath of Israel.   As a matter of fact, the world can learn a lesson from Israel, which has vowed
