Sibal Accuses Govt of Protecting Judge Amidst Impeachment Delay
Kapil Sibal is upset because the government hasn't acted on a request to remove a judge, Justice Yadav, who made some controversial statements.
Sibal believes the government is protecting the judge because they agree with his views.
He also pointed out that the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha hasn't taken any action on the notice for impeachment.
