Class 8 NCERT chapter about ‘corruption in Judiciary’ is incomplete, not accurate and possibly targeting the judiciary: Abhishek Sanghvi
Responding to a question from the audience about the recent Supreme Court direction expressing concerns over Class 8 NCERT chapter concerning “corruption in Judiciary”, Mr. Singhvi said the chapter is “incomplete, not accurate and possibly targeting the judiciary.”
“There were two issues, and I want to focus on the matter that is the selectivity of this two-page chapter.”
“Suddenly, out of the blue, there were two pages on judicial matters. It doesn’t seem to be institutionally about corruption, which is rampant in the bureaucratic political class and the political states.”
And [it’s] plug-out-of-context, it could be an agenda of content to break the integrity and control, he said.
“And definitely, the selectivity is in exclusion. And you could get class 8 students across the country; that is one sector of the table on the left side, which is for the corruption problems, the only people talking about it,” he said.
“Ultimately, we all, which has defended liberty, private rights, [is] a bulwark against government excess. That’s not much. And that is not mentioned, or the institution is made a possible target,” he added.
Mr. Singhvi mentioned he is a counsel in the case.
