Lawyer Rakesh Kishore, who tried to throw a shoe on Monday at Chief Justice (CJI) BR Gawai of India, said that he had no regrets on his actions.
Speaking to ANI on Tuesday, Rakesh Kishore said that he was hurt by the CJI’s remarks, dismissing the petition seeking restoration of Lord Vishnu at the Jawari temple in Khajuraho.
He said, “I was sad. A PIL was filed in the Chief Justice’s court on 16 September. Justice Gawai had mocked it, saying ‘Go, pray to the idol to come back to her head’. While we see when there are cases against other religions, like a community in Haldwani had captured the railway land in Haldwani. In the case of Nupur Sharma, the court said, “You have spoiled the atmosphere.
Kishore further said, “If you do not want to give relief, then don’t make fun of him at least. It was an injustice to dismiss the petition. I am against violence, but you should think that a common man, who is not connected to any group, took such a step. Why was it not a drunk; it was my response to his action. I am not afraid of his action. I am not afraid of me and I did not have any rebellion. Got it. “
In addition, he said that the Chief Justice of India should maintain the dignity of the constitutional post, and criticized Justice Gaval for the Supreme Court’s decision to use bulldozers by the state governments.
Kishore said, “CJI holds the constitutional post and is called” My Lord “, so they should understand its meaning and maintain dignity. I ask CJI and the people opposing me, whether it was wrong to run Yogi ji’s bulldar on those who occupied the government land in Bareilly?”
He further said, “The thing is that we have been slaves of small communities for a thousand years. We have been tolerant, but when our identity is in danger, I want any Sanatani to stay silent in their homes. What they can do, do what they can do. I am not provoking, just I want people to take care of their interests.”
Condemning its suspension by the Bar Council, he said that the council has violated the law.
He said, “A disciplinary committee is to be constituted under Section 35 of the Advocates Act, under which I have been suspended, which will send notice and I will reply. But the Bar Council has violated the rules in my case. Now I have to return the fees of my clients.”
The lawyer further said, “I had already decided, because since September 16, I was unable to sleep. Some divine power woke me up and said, ‘The country is burning and you are sleeping?’ I wonder that the Chief Justice allowed me to go for 3-4 hours. “
Amid criticism of trying to abuse a Dalit judge, he said, “He is the first Sanatani, but he has adopted Buddhism. Now, how is he a Dalit person? It is his politics.”
Advocate Rakesh Kishore says that he is ready to go to jail but will not apologize for his act. He said, “I am not going to apologize, God has done this to me, if he wants, I go to jail, or I get hanged, it is his wish.”
Kishore’s actions were widely condemned and PM Modi said that there is no place for such attacks in the society.
PM Modi posted on Monday, “Talked to the Chief Justice of India, Justice BR Gavai ji. The attack on him in the Supreme Court premises today has angered every Indian. There is no place for such condemnable acts in our society. It is completely condemnable. It is completely condemnable. I appreciated peace displayed by Justice Gavai. Exposes commitment. “
