Sonia Gandhi, chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, has expressed deep concern over the recent attack on Chief Justice of India B R Gavai. She characterized the act as an assault not only on an individual but also on the very foundation of the Constitution.
In a statement released on Monday, Gandhi stated, 'No words are adequate to condemn the attack on the Honourable Chief Justice of India in the Supreme Court itself.' She emphasized the imperative for the nation to stand united in solidarity with Chief Justice Gavai, underscoring the incident as a grievous breach of decorum.
The controversial event occurred when a 71-year-old lawyer almost hurled a shoe at CJI Gavai during a court proceeding. Fortunately, security personnel intervened, preventing the situation from escalating further.
