Civil society members & journos move SC, express solidarity with Bhushan -Dhananjay Mahapatra

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: Ten members of civil society, including Aruna Roy and Arundhati Roy, have moved the Supreme Court expressing solidarity with activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan who is facing contempt proceedings on attorney general K K Venugopal’s petition accusing him of making “false, malicious, dishonest and reckless” allegations on appointment of CBI’s interim director.

The Roy duo, along with Wajahat Habibullah, Harsh Mandher, Jayati Ghosh, Prabhat Patnaik, I P Singh, Shailesh Gandhi, Bezwada Wilson and Nikhil Dey, most of whom were represented by Bhushan in one case or the other before the SC, requested the court to make them parties in the contempt proceedings.

Terming Bhushan’s remarks appropriate in the context of the doubts that arose in the appointment of M Nageswar Rao as interim CBI director, they said in a joint application filed through Kamini Jaiswal, “The applicants would also like to intervene in the present contempt petition and face the consequences of this contempt, if any, along with Prashant Bhushan.”
