Arvind Kejriwal

This episode focuses on a pattern, the weaponisation of public pressure against state institutions, particularly the judiciary. When people with large social media followings launch coordinated campaigns to delegitimise sitting judges, manufacture or manipulate evidence, and publicly refuse to participate in the judicial process, they are not practising Satyagraha. They are systematically undermining public trust in institutions that safeguard ordinary people far more than politicians.

A court cannot be declared illegitimate after you have petitioned it and lost. That is forum shopping wrapped in a khadi shawl, not civil disobedience.

When a litigant attempts to make the justice delivery system vulnerable to unfounded allegations, they are targeting the credibility of the institution itself rather than merely a judge.

A political leader who uses the recusal doctrine today establishes a precedent that can be used against any judge, liberal or conservative, activist or deferential, by anyone with a grievance and a microphone.

AAP leaders have been arrested by the police due to their involvement in criminal activities and not because of any "vendetta."

AAP’s sidelining of Raghav Chadha signals a calculated move to contain a rising voice that risked unsettling its centralised power structure and challenge Arvind Kejriwal's supremacy.
