The Prime Minister's tweets today come amid a face-off between the government and the judiciary over the issue of judicial appointments, in which the government seeks a bigger role.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lauded Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud's recent comments on making Supreme Court judgments available in regional languages. The CJI had made the comments yesterday at an event organised by the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa in Mumbai. At a recent function, the Hon'ble CJI Justice DY Chandrachud spoke of the need to work towards making SC judgments available in regional languages. He also suggested the use of technology for it. This is a laudatory thought, which will help many people, particularly youngsters. pic.twitter.com/JQTXCI9gw0

"India has several languages, which add to our cultural vibrancy. The central government is undertaking numerous efforts to encourage Indian languages including giving the option of studying subjects like engineering and medicine in one's Matru Bhasha (mother tongue)," read another tweet from the PM, who had stressed on the need to use local languages in courts several times last year.
