Kerala Congress-linked leaders apologise to Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud?—No, CJI Surya Kant—over a controversial post on the party’s official X account that called for his resignation and suggested finding a replacement. The post, which was later deleted, stems from anger and legal concerns raised after a reported remark by the Chief Justice about meeting INDIA bloc leaders.
The Hindu says the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee’s apology follows a demand for the Chief Justice’s resignation that was published without prior approval or consultation, with KPCC chief Sunny Joseph stating the post went out without authorisation. NDTV reports a similar apology, focusing on the criticism that the Chief Justice allegedly cited legal issues for not meeting INDIA bloc leaders.
Free Press Journal adds more detail, saying KPCC issued an unconditional apology on Oct 27, removed an identified account-holder, and told a legal notice sender that the resignation demand and replacement suggestion were not authorised by the KPCC leadership or its president. Across outlets, the common point is that the controversy centres on an unauthorised X post targeting the Chief Justice.
