Clean-up needed

Shailendra Kaul

Sir — This refers to the report, “Govt puts Manmohan in dock” (July 23). Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Congress have been in the dock for long now.

Retired Supreme Court justice Markandey Katju belongs to a family of judges with an unimpeachable record and has been described as brilliant, bold, and one of the best legal minds. He is one of the few scholarly judges having interest in languages, history and sociology. When he says something, he says it with conviction.

It will be in the national interest if the comments by Mr Katju are utilised to clean up the judicial system, which needs a total overhaul. Corruption in higher judiciary is no secret and the Congress is responsible for making it part of our national DNA.
