44 Judges Defend CJI Surya Kant on Rohingya Remarks

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant made some remarks about illegal Rohingya immigrants during a court hearing.

Some people, like Prashant Bhushan, criticized him, saying his words were unfair.

But 44 former judges wrote a letter supporting the Chief Justice.

They said his questions were about the law and not meant to be prejudiced.

They also said that the Rohingya entered India illegally and cannot just claim to be refugees.

The former judges warned that attacking the judiciary like this could harm its independence.

The debate is about whether the Chief Justice was right to question the legal status of the Rohingya or if his words were unfair.
