Varma Impeachment: Cross-Party Support Shakes Judiciary
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rijiju announced today widespread support across party lines for the impeachment of Justice Varma. The move follows an inquiry that indicted the judge on corruption charges.
A motion for impeachment is currently being prepared, requiring signatures from MPs representing various political parties. This signifies a significant development in the ongoing controversy.
Justice Varma has vehemently denied all allegations of wrongdoing. However, the inquiry’s findings have triggered this unprecedented parliamentary action.
The next steps involve a detailed parliamentary discussion and a formal inquiry into the allegations against the judge. This case has significant implications for the integrity of the Indian judiciary and the public’s trust in its institutions. The outcome will set a crucial precedent for future accountability within the higher courts.
