Sealed Cover MP: The Track Record ofFormer CJI Ranjan Gogoi in Parliament

This time last year, on March 19, 2020, Ranjan Gogoi, the former chief justice of India, took his oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha after being nominated by the government.
Despite the criticism he faced as CJI, Gogoi proceeded to accept the Narendra Modi government’s offer to nominate him to the Rajya Sabha.

But what has been the track record of former CJI Ranjan Gogoi in the Rajya Sabha? How many debates, questions and intervention has Ranjan Gogoi, the parliamentarian, submitted in the Rajya Sabha?

The episode of The Wire Explains is based on an article by the lawyer and research Arvind Kurian Abraham, titled 'Sealed Cover MP: The Silence of Parliamentarian Ranjan Gogoi'

Country is going to dogs, sorry to say this.
Ranjan Gogoi's action is the last nail in the coffin.
SHARING.

[KT]

It's was retirement gift from BJP for him on Ram temple decision.

[s.c.biswal]

Now Ranjan Gogoi is the "Sealed Cover" of Modi-Shah-RSS

[tkskoya]

If we had few as Mahua Moitra in the parliament we could have safeguarded our democracy

[yaruingamawungshi]

I am just wondering, how could Ranjan Gogoi sleep in peace after such allegations against him day and night. And this will down till he goes to pyre.

[ssnayar]

Absolute confirmation about the reward theory. He was rewarded for Ram Temple and Rafaele orders.

[nilotpalbhattacharyya]

Very well formed arguments, I see a bright Journalist in the formation. Wish you all the best.

[ashwinmohandas]

He wouldn't dare speak against the ones who have him the prestigious post.

[pandurvk]

The answer “lies” in a sealed cover and sorry it’s “EMPTY”!
Very very TRANSPARENT!
Thanks 🙏 Go Go अैय्य!

[shaaddhillon]

It really hurts me to see how indian democracy is dying right before our eyes

[arshadkamal]

Well summarised. Hope it would have some effect somewhere.

[dishasawant]

Thanks a lot Wire! Keep such quickies coming.

[ismailabdullah]

Thank you very much, for your excellent report wire

[alamgiralam]

Thank you very much for this information. I was searching for this for few weeks.

[pandurvk]

I think former CBI Director Alok Verma The Great 👍 knows what’s in the empty cover
Empty head of Ranjan Gogoi

[gautammakwana]

Whatever fruits he has enjoyed as CJI, wants to continue as legislature without making any efforts...!! 😢😢

[Abhishek.]

Meanwhile, Ranjan Gogoi : मोदी है तो मुमकिन है...

[yesudhasonxavier]

very disappointing that, one who sold the judiciary for a price now being rewarded

[gangadharhiremath]

He is not worthy of your attention.I strongly believe in what Markandey Katju said about him: "a scoundrel"

[shaunbird]

Thanks for the nice presentation. My heart bleeds hearing this story. If such people of high position themselves go astray, we just cant imagine what the other ordinary people will do. The father of the Nation "Mahatma Gandhi must be turning in his grave on hearing this story. This seriously raises doubts on how the Ex-Judge would have got entangled in the /sex racket and could not find any way out for which the Shah/Modi used this bait to blackmail the member in this case and got him to give a favourable verdict in the Ayodhya Temple and Raffale scam cases etc. So much so for the patriotism and love for the Mother land shown by our great leaders We have to bow our heads in shame. Jai Hind!
