Biased and political judges now being exposed

Dear Editor,

Retired Justice C.V. Wigneswaran has made a highly-political speech while taking cover under the topic ‘Why independence of the Judiciary is important’. Anyone reading his speech will note that he is completely biased towards the present Chief Justice and that he has been given a contract by the CJ to sling mud at the Government and to try to protect her.

However, he has been deafeningly silent about the massive charges that have been levelled against the Chief Justice, perhaps because even he is unable to defend her corrupt practices.

One favourable outcome that is emerging from this impeachment saga is that this type of biased and political judges are now being exposed, and that will give a chance for our country’s Judiciary to be cleaned up so that it will become truly independent and professional in the future.
