The letter said, "We are all aware that the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court headed by the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud is seized of & hearing an important Constitutional issue in the matter of government formation & the governor's role in Maharashtra. While the matter is subjudice, the troll army, presumably sympathetic to the interest of the ruling party in Maharashtra, has launched an offensive against the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India. The words & contents are filthy & deplorable, which has garnered views in lakhs on social media platforms".
Calling this as an interference with the course of justice, the opposition MPs sought immediate action against the trolls & also those who are behind it -- supporting & sponsoring. "As law abiding parliamentarians, we expect immediate action against the culprits, failing which the matter may have to be escalated to higher levels," the letter said.
The Chief Justice of India raised some strong questions as he heard the Maharashtra crisis. Raising questions over the role of the then Governor who called for a trust vote following which Uddhav Thackeray resigned. The CJI also questioned the timing of the rebellion of the Sena MLAs led by Eknath Shinde & asked what happened three years after the happy marriage of the Sena, NCP & the Congress.
