Kerala Congress Apologizes to CJI Surya Kant Over Unauthorized Resignation Post
The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) issued an unconditional apology to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant for an unauthorized, disrespectful post on its official X account calling for his resignation. KPCC President Sunny Joseph stated the post was published without party approval, leading to the removal of Vijay Thottathil, who was directed to apologize publicly. The post was deleted after criticism from the Supreme Court Bar Association and the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association, which condemned the remarks as undermining judicial dignity.
