Respect India’s youth, aimed at those with fake degrees: CJI on ‘cockroach’ remarks

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant clarified that his remarks referring to some people as "cockroaches" were directed at individuals who entered professions like the Bar with fake and bogus degrees, not at the youth of the country. He expressed immense respect for Indian youth and stated that they inspire him, calling them the pillars of a developed India. The CJI's statement came a day after a Supreme Court bench made strong oral observations during a hearing of a plea concerning senior advocate designation.
