Quit, we’ll find replacement, Kerala Congress tells CJI, then deletes post

On Monday, the BJP accused the Congress of attempting to dismantle constitutional institutions after the Kerala Congress demanded Chief Justice Surya Kant's resignation. The CJI's comments on law and order being outside his jurisdiction were seen as a reinforcement of the separation of powers doctrine. The Kerala Congress, facing criticism, later deleted the post and removed the individual responsible; however, the BJP argued this was proof of their claim that the opposition party aimed to intimidate and destroy institutions.

Union minister Kiren Rijiju stated that the Congress's next target is the judiciary as it seeks to destroy all constitutional and democratic institutions in the country. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey added to the criticism, pointing out that Congress has a habit of demanding the resignation of high-ranking officials, including the Chief Justice, and suggested Rahul Gandhi will soon be their next PM.
