[Marxistindia] Remove Justice Sen from Judicial Duties

Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), now in session
at New Delhi, has issued the following statement:
 
Remove Justice Sen from Judicial Duties
 
The CPI(M) condemns in unequivocal terms the recent utterances of Justice
Sudip Ranjan Sen of Meghalaya High Court, in the form of a judgement which
is against the basic structure of our Constitution.  The Supreme Court had
earlier given a verdict that secularism, amongst others, is a fundamental
feature of our Constitution.  Justice Sen reflects his political faith akin
to RSS ideology of Hindu Rashtra.  By smuggling in his brazen communal view
on partition and making an obvious political statement on proposed amendment
to the Citizenship Act, he has both undermined the pre-eminent role of
Parliament and the independence of the Judiciary.  Such views will
contribute to further provoking discord among the people in the North East.
 
The CPI(M) is of the opinion that Justice Sen has lost his moral right to
continue in the office as a Judge of a High Court.  The CPI(M) will consult
other parties in Parliament to consider moving an impeachment motion for his
removal.
 
Meanwhile, we request the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India to keep Justice Sen
off judicial functions.
