PM Modi did nothing wrong by attending Puja at CJI’s home said Indian lawyer and politician Mahesh Jethmalani. According to him “anything to do with Hinduism is a red flag for Opposition.” Devotion towards a deity is not a contraception of a liberal, he said. A controversy erupted after Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended Ganpati Puja celebrations at the residence of Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, with the Shiv Sena (UBT) suggesting that it might raise doubts about judicial impartiality in the minds of the people. Hitting back at the opposition, the BJP said PM Modi’s visit was restricted to Ganpati Puja celebrations, and it was a “part of our culture”.
