Goswami accused Dipke of misrepresenting CJI Kant&#8217;s words and using social media to sensationalize the issue without considering the full context.<\/p>\n<p>CJI Surya Kant, leading the bench, dismissed the urgency of the plea with a light-hearted response, saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t take it so sentimentally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On May 16, the CJI described how he used the term &#8220;cockroach&#8221; to voice his frustrations regarding individuals who falsely claim to be lawyers, often without proper legal credentials. This statement sparked wider discussions about fake professionals across various sectors, including media.<\/p>\n<p>The petition asserted that Dipke was selectively using the CJI&#8217;s remarks to create attention-grabbing content online. It pointed out that since the live streaming of court proceedings post-COVID-19, clips have often been transformed into sensationalized content, losing their original context and seriousness.<\/p>\n<p>The PIL warned that such online activities can lead to &#8220;organized digital humiliation&#8221; of constitutional authorities and institutions, ultimately undermining their dignity and trust.<\/p>\n<p>In his earlier remarks, CJI Surya Kant expressed disappointment over how media outlets misquoted him, asserting, &#8220;I only criticized individuals entering the legal profession using fake degrees. I have deep respect for the youth of India, who inspire me as the future leaders of our nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: CJI Surya Kant Clarifies Remarks Amid Controversy Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant recently addressed concerns regarding his comments that led to a satirical online movement called the &#8220;Cockroach Janta Party.&#8221; Following his remark, he took a moment to clarify his respect for the youth of India.
