Former IPS officer, BJP leader Bhaskar Rao lauds lawyer’s attempt to throw shoe at CJI
Bengaluru: BJP leader and former Police Commissioner of Bengaluru Bhaskar Rao has drawn severe criticism for his appreciation of the lawyer’s recent attempt to throw his shoe at Chief Justice of India BR Gavai.
Even as the advocate Rakesh Kishore is being criticized and was also suspended by the Bar Council of India, Rao lauded the advocate, calling his move as brave. “His daring to act so and also live with it is definitely worth appreciation,” the former police officer has said.
Congress leader Mansoor Khan, however, has slammed Rao for his comment, calling it a fall of the officer. “This is a legal issue, with the lawyer having violated the law and yet, are you lauding his act as bravery? It is shameful for you, a former IPS officer, who once upheld the law but is now defending a man who insulted the CJI. What a fall!” Khan has tweeted on his personal ‘X’ account.
Even if it is Legally & Terribly Wrong, I admire your courage, at your age, to take a stand and live by it, irrespective of Consequences 🙏
