Lawyer Rakesh Kishore, who threw a shoe at Chief Justice BR Gavai, has stated that he was hurt by the CJI's remarks and has no regrets or remorse for his actions. Expressing his displeasure, lawyer Rakesh Kishore said that the Supreme Court issues similar orders whenever cases related to Sanatan Dharma (religious Sanatan Dharma) arise. After attempting to throw a shoe at the CJI, the accused lawyer Rakesh Kishore has been suspended.
'The Chief Justice mocked Sanatan Dharma'
Lawyer Rakesh Kishore said, "I was hurt... I wasn't drunk. This was my reaction to his actions. I'm neither afraid nor regretful of my actions. On September 16th, a public interest litigation was filed in the Chief Justice's court. The Chief Justice mocked it, saying, "Go and pray to the idol and ask it to put your head back on..." The Supreme Court issues such orders when a case related to our Sanatan Dharma arises. Don't deny relief to the petitioner, but don't mock him either."
"The dignity of the constitutional position must be maintained."
Regarding his action against the person holding the highest position in the judiciary, the suspended lawyer said, "The CJI, who holds such a high constitutional position, should also think. He should understand the meaning of the word 'My Lord' and maintain its dignity. You go to Mauritius and say that the country cannot be run by bulldozers. I want to ask the CJI, is Yogi Adityanath's action against those encroaching on government property wrong? I am hurt and will continue to be hurt."
"Maybe I am also a Dalit."
Lawyer Rakesh Kishore, responding to criticism for throwing a shoe at the Dalit CJI, said, "My name is Rakesh Kishore. Can anyone tell me my caste? Maybe I am also a Dalit. CJI BR Gavai is a Dalit, and this is one aspect, and an attempt is being made to take advantage of it. But he is not a Dalit. He was formerly a Sanatani Hindu, but later changed his faith and became a Buddhist." Now, how are they Dalits? It's just a matter of perception.
'God made me do all this.'
Lawyer Rakesh Kishore said, "Judges need to work on their sensitivity. There are millions of pending cases. I'm not going to apologize to anyone, nor am I sorry. I didn't do anything like this. You're questioning me, but God made me do all this."
