In a fiery address, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal alleged that the government's push for an impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Varma is an attempt to dismantle the Collegium system, thereby seizing control of judicial appointments.
Sibal, a seasoned advocate, emphasized Varma's integrity, asserting that no evidence of wrongdoing exists against the judge, unlike Justice Shekhar Yadav, who made communal remarks yet faces protection.
Questioning the motives behind these actions, Sibal warned that the independence of the judiciary is gravely at risk, urging awareness and action among judicial authorities against such political maneuvers.
