In a controversial political move, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has condemned the impeachment proceedings initiated by the INDIA Bloc against a Madras High Court Judge as 'political intimidation.'
The impeachment notice, led by over 120 MPs and spearheaded by the DMK, targets Judge G R Swaminathan for ordering temple authorities in Madurai's Thirupparankundram to light a lamp, sparking debate over judicial independence.
Kalyan argues that this is an attack on judicial freedom, asking why a judgement supporting Hindu worship practices warrants such retaliation, unlike past rulings affecting religious customs. He calls for a unified stance to protect judicial integrity and religious fairness.
