Former Chief Justice of India BR Gavai, who demitted office on November 23, has said that he never faced pressure from executive or political leaders and that the Collegium system of appointment of judges is transparent, and allegations that it is opaque are not well-founded.
He emphasised that the verdict sends a clear signal on the respective roles of the Governor and the Chief Minister, underlining the importance of cooperation while respecting constitutional boundaries.
"Today, the BJP's divisive politics has shamelessly overstepped constitutional boundaries. As per @BJP4India every person wearing a turban is a Khalistani," the Chief Minister said in a post on 'X'.
