Justice Pankaj Mithal spoke against Preamble at a meet held by an RSS-affiliated body, he says
CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury has asked President Ram Nath Kovind to sack Chief Justice of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court Pankaj Mithal for addressing a seminar organised by an RSS-affiliated organisation.
Mr. Yechury in his letter said Justice Mithal, addressing the seminar organised by the Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad on December 5, had reportedly said, “Inclusion of the terms secular and socialist in the Preamble of the Constitution has narrowed India’s spiritual image.”
Utterances against the Constitution by a High Court Chief Justice, that too from a platform which preaches a particular ideology, Mr. Yechury said is an unpardonable offence, which is in violation of the oath taken by him to carry out his constitutional functions.
