'Arrogance not good': CJP, Opposition react to Supreme Court saying they don't have time to watch protest videos
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant declined urgent hearing of a plea on police action during a July 20 student protest, saying 'We are not interested in videos, we don't have time to watch'.
Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke and spokesperson Saurav Das criticized the CJI's remarks, with Das stating 'so much arrogance is not good'.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Somnath Bharti said the remarks raise concerns about access to justice, arguing the court is duty-bound to give patient hearing to such issues.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi reacted sarcastically with a one-word post: 'Amazing'.
The July 20 protest, demanding resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam irregularities, turned violent with police using lathis and tear gas.
