Kerala Congress Apologizes to CJI Surya Kant Over Unauthorised Resignation Post
The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) issued an unconditional apology to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant after a controversial October 12 post on its official X account called for his resignation. KPCC President Sunny Joseph stated the post was unauthorised and did not reflect the party's position. Vijay Thottathil, who published the post, was removed from his role and asked to apologise publicly. The post was deleted following criticism from legal bodies, including the Supreme Court Bar Association, which condemned it as disrespectful and an interference with judicial independence.
