Retired Supreme Court judge and PCI chairman Markandey Katju has accused BJP leader Arun Jaitley of twisting facts and asked him to quit politics.
Reacting to Jaitley’s charges that he was politically motivated, Katju accused him of twisting facts and said he had written “very strong” letters to Congress-ruled Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan over the arrest of two girls for a Facebook post after the death of Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray.
Katju said he had also issued a strong statement against Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, when he had told a mediaperson that he would break his camera.
“Mr Jaitley is clearly guilty of twisting facts. He has criticised me for a report against the Bihar Government for suppressing press freedom,” he said.
“That was not my report, but that of a three-member team of the members of the Press Council of India. Here again, Mr Jaitley has twisted facts,” Katju alleged, adding, “Jaitley should resign from his post and quit politics, he is not cut out for politics. He has totally twisted the facts and accused me of not criticising Congress Governments, which is not true.”
Reacting to Jailtey’s remarks on post-retirement assignments for retired judges, Katju said the post of the Chairman of the Press Council has by convention been given to a retired judge of the Supreme Court. “There are many judges who have been given post-retirement posts,” he said, adding that Justice JS Verma, Justice Swatantra Kumar and Justice DK Jain had been appointed as chairmen of the National Human Rights Commission, National Green Tribunal and the Law Commission respectively.
“Why does Mr Jaitley forget the post-retirement appointments given by the NDA when he was the Law Minister?” Katju said. He claimed at least two judges were transferred from their parent High Courts to the Rajasthan High Court “for reasons well known to Mr Jaitley and about which I do not wish to comment.”
