Guess which statement was made by @MenakaGuruswamy and which by former CJI Ranjan Gogoi in their maiden speeches in Parliament:
1.The basic structure of the Constitution has a debatable jurisprudential basis.

#MPLAD Funds between 2022-22 were placed at disposal of @FinMinIndia for managing #Covid_19
@GoIStats has no data about purposes for which these funds were utilized or whether any part of the same has remained unutilised.

Invasive surveillance technology chills freedom of speech and expression — it can put people in real danger too. Not just the ones being targeted, but also people they talk to and are close too. Citizens of India deserve to know what's going on! #PegasusLeaks #InvestigatePegasus

@prisjebaraj might be relevant for your PM Cares - FCRA - CAG story on @the_hindu.

Justice Gavai asks Bhushan : Would you like to reconsider your statement?
Bhushan : I don't want to reconsider the statement. As regards giving time, I don't think it will serve any useful purpose.

Solidarity with @pbhushan1. The "contempt of court" charges only give greater weight to the concerns expressed in these tweets of his. It'll be a shame if @TwitterIndia caves to political pressure and deletes the tweets.

If this tweet by Prashant Bhushan is so problematic & offensive for some people, let us all retweet it and say that we #StandWithPrashantBhushan.

Supreme Court of India jurisprudence these days:
When there is recusal, there is no reason given.
When there is reason to seek recusal, there is no recusal.
