ThePrintPod: ‘Vedas will protect you’ remark to ‘caste bias’,Justice GR Swaminathan is no stranger to controversy

from ThePrint · host ThePrint

Madras High Court judge Justice G.R. Swaminathan has found himself embroiled in controversy more than once. The first-generation lawyer has often been in the eye of a storm in recent months, both for his orders in court and statements outside the courtroom—from praising the Vedas to saying the Constitution hinges on the country’s “demographic profile”. Now, over 100 INDIA bloc MPs, led by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s (DMK) Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, have moved a motion before Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. https://youtu.be/inN1eyYC1HI
