Now waiting for Supereme Court's Budget Session. 😂😂😂

[pbharathkrishna]

To sum up the episode, Mr. SG is asking the 'honorable ' SC to first clean its house instead of trying to play the BIG BOSS.

[nikitamishra]

Protest against SEZ(2007)
Protest against economic liberalization 1991
Protest against nuclear deal
Protest against NEP
Protests against privatization of Air India(last profit was 14 years ago), Railways, PSUs
Protest against computers during Rajiv Gandhi's era
and then we dream of becoming a superpower!

"Who is to say, Lordships what about the cases you are really supposed to do?"
Seems like a job for the fourth pillar, the media. SG and The Print has shown spine asking this. Kudos!!

Make Indian courts run 24/7 just like police hospital and military. These court's think themselves as king's.

We have a saying here in Karnataka, "One who wins at a court has lost while the one who looses is dead.'

[HistoryOfBharat]

The problem with SC is, they r doing everything which is not under der domain. And they r not performing their main duty to ensure ppl freedom and rights.

[LightningMcQueen...]

Sir if 1-2 lakh dudes gather outside our supreme court premise and demand abolishment of reservation & personal income tax, will they accept our demands ?

[newhorizon]

Why should we have elections and go through all the issues that come with it just leave it to the SC to decide everything.

[abhijitsingh]

All the salaried individuals, I think it is time for us to gather together to ask for removing income taxes. Anyways the hard earned taxed money is going to the gutter with subsidies and all the freebies being given. The Supreme Court can potentially put a stay on income tax then.

[anustupgayen]

Now the middle class should come and say we should not pay taxes, we need to see from where the money comes to support MSP

[akashtiwari]

SG in yesterday's CTC: bad idea! Remember your attempts to "reform" & govern Indian Cricket...
The SC: challenge accepted 😎

[anantsaini]

*Sad to see Judiciary interfering in executionary reforms of the country.* 😔

[nitishthakur]

Amazed at the people calling Shekhar Gupta biased. When he speaks against the policies of Centre, the other side does the same job, which tells us exactly that he does unbiased journalism.

[kavinsangoi]

Why should we have election now just let SC make committee from Kashmir to economy

[greenpeace]

This court seems to interfere in any law which will help poor people

[kushalmaradiya]

Mild jibe by SG: Don't attack me now, It's a Bombay High court just as Madras High court and not chennai"

[navreetdhillon]

The way Mr. Gupta transformed his ideology in such a smooth manner is really commendable 👍

[ashketchum]

Good bye to land laws, labour reforms and UCC. Only if we could learn something from China.

[subhammahana]

What would I do without Gupta ji’s explanations.🙏🏽 Take care sir. We need you to counterbalance the other part of the 4th pillar of democracy.
