Congress Backs Impeachment of Judge Amid Support from INDIA Bloc

In a significant political development, Congress MP K Suresh announced that his party is fully supporting the impeachment proceedings against High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma. The move aligns with the INDIA bloc parties, as confirmed by Suresh following an all-party meeting in the national capital.
