Careless remarks by a Chief Justice of India Surya Kant not within careful exercise of judicial utterance, calling unemployed youth parasites and cockroaches cause socialmedia protests in New Delhi. Telegraph in UK provides details about the case a petitioner wanting "senior advocate" designation status and the CJI making remarks that could easily be taken out of context.

"There are youngsters like cockroaches, who don't get any employment or have any place in profession. Some of them become media, some of them become social media, RTI activists and other activists and they start attacking everyone."

CJI Surya Kant says he was referring to 48,000 persons practicing law without a law degree. He could have simply turned down the petition and expressed his view on the 48,000 persons in a separate place and time clearly saying just that not bringing in words such as parasites and cockroaches. Justices Dalveer Bhandari and others on the Delhi and Supreme Court have set a high standard for the bench that should have been followed. This affects India, a developing country that with strong leadership has tackled crisis after crisis, the pandemic, DJT Tariffs, Hormuz cutoff, in the last decade and maintained India's implementation of a ten year plan to 2030 to industrialize and modernize the country. The last thing the country needs in its development efforts is something said by the CJI being seen as callous behaviour to youth job seekers when the whole point of the night and day efforts of the civil service, the government departments at every level of government, of whole ministries such as Railways, infrastructure projects all over India under a Master Plan is to create good jobs, and build Make In India in an accelerated effort with foreign technologies and capital.
