New Delhi: Violence on “flimsy reasons” and "regressive" politics threatens the Constitution and nation, said Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan on Tuesday.
"Regressive brand of politics is threatening our Constitution, and the principles that our Constitution stands for. There have been several instances of senseless violence in recent times to polarise the nation on the flimsiest of reasons," he said at a conference.
"Our national values are deeply eroding at this time". A pluralistic society is bound to have differences, but these differences should be resolved amicably.
Commenting on the judiciary, he said: “it is a watchdog of society".
"There have been allegations against higher judiciary in recent days. It has raised question on who would watch the watchdog," he said.
