Lashing out at media reports hinting at “bias” on the part of members of an expert committee constituted by the Supreme Court to intercede between protesting farmers and the government, Chief Justice of India Sharad A Bobde said it has become “almost a cultural thing” to brand people.
“They (committee members) are brilliant minds in the field of agriculture. Branding of people whom you do not want, this has become almost like a cultural thing. You malign people’s reputation and then you say the court is interested in these people. I am sorry that this kind of opinions are appearing in the Press,” Bobde fumed.
