'Remain Calm': BJP Responds to Critics Following Controversy Over PM Modi's Ganpati Puja Visit to CJI's Residence
PM Modi's participation in Ganpati Puja at CJI Chandrachud's residence has stirred debate, with the Opposition raising concerns about judicial autonomy. The visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud's residence for Ganpati Puja was defended by the BJP as a cultural and religious celebration. This visit has stirred controversy, with the Opposition raising concerns about the transparency and code of conduct within the judiciary system. In response to the criticism, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) asserted that the purpose of the visit was solely to participate in the Ganpati celebrations and was intended to be a cultural event.
A video showed BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla condemning Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi and other members of the INDI Alliance for politicizing the Prime Minister's visit to the Chief Justice of India's residence.
Poonawalla censured Chaturvedi for making what he described as a shocking, disgraceful, and reprehensible accusation against Chief Justice of India, Chandrachud Ji. His offense is that Prime Minister Modi visited his residence for Ganesh Puja, a customary practice during Ganesh Chaturthi where people visit each other's homes as part of their cultural traditions. The politicization of a simple puja by Priyanka Chaturvedi and the baseless accusations against the Chief Justice of India for not accommodating her personal timetable in a specific case is alarming. The Uddhav Sena, familiar with such cultural norms, should understand this well. "This constitutes contempt of court," he declared.
"It is alarming, it is unacceptable, it undermines the judiciary, the Supreme Court, and the Chief Justice of India, all because Prime Minister Modi has visited as he would visit the homes of many others for the Ganesh Puja," Poonawalla stated in the video.
