The post doing the rounds on social media claimed that the CJI has appealed to the public to unite and come out on the streets against ‘dictatorial government’.
The Public Relations Office (PRO) of the Supreme Court Monday flagged a fake piece of news circulating on social media and messenger apps falsely attributing a quote to Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud.
The post doing the rounds on social media claimed that the CJI has appealed to the public to unite and come out on the streets to fight for their rights against ‘dictatorial government’.
The PRO in a press note stated that the social media post is fake, ill-intended and mischievous and was not issued by the CJI or anyone authorised by him.
“No such post has been issued by the Chief Justice of India nor has he authorised any such post. Appropriate action is being taken in this regard with the law enforcement authorities,” the PRO made it clear.
