"Democracy and truth go hand in hand. Democracy needs truth to survive," the Supreme Court judge said at a lecture.

New Delhi: Totalitarian governments constantly rely on falsehoods in order to establish dominance and the citizen’s right to speak truth to power is integral to the functioning of a democracy, Supreme Court judge Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said on Saturday, August 28.

LiveLaw, which covered the online lecture, reported on it with excerpts from the judge’s speech, which appeared to be critical of the current dispensation and the need for freedom of speech.

The lecture at which Justice Chandrachud spoke was titled ‘Speaking Truth to Power : Citizens and the Law’ and was part of the Sixth M.C. Chagla Memorial Lecture.
