Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has publicly denounced the Chief Justice of Punjab as a 'B-Team' member of the Aam Aadmi Party, sparking debate over judicial neutrality.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took to the podium on Tuesday to label the Chief Justice of Punjab as a "B-Team" member of the Aam Aadmi Party.
In a statement delivered during a press conference, Gupta implied that the judge’s affiliation undermines the perceived impartiality of the judiciary.
The remark came amid growing scrutiny of the judiciary’s independence, with opposition parties calling for a review of the appointment process.
Gupta’s comments have prompted responses from legal experts who caution against politicising judicial appointments, while AAP officials denied any direct link between the judge and the party.
