"I will not mention any courtroom, but it is clear to the world that in West Bengal there is an attempt to control the judiciary. There is a section that thinks that by controlling the judiciary they will be able to make them come to terms with them. Yesterday, former judge Ashok Ganguly has said a very important thing. Our judiciary is not so weak that if someone wants, they can control it. This will not be possible and those who are thinking it will happen, are wrong," Justice Abhijit Ganguly said.
