Watch: CJP plans friday protest; cancels talks with Centre| Above the Fold| 23.07.2026

The Chief Justice of India (CJP) has organized a nationwide protest for Friday, signaling a major stand-off with the government after rejecting their offer for talks. This move comes amid Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of establishing fast-track courts for handling paper leak cases, which the CJP sees as insufficient. The protest highlights growing tensions between the judiciary and the executive branch over judicial reforms and the independence of the courts. This standoff could have significant implications for the country's governance and the balance of power between different branches of government.
