So. Whats with Press Council Chairman Justice Markandeya Katju's?
He believes that all scribes are intellectually challenged. He would know as he comes from such illustrious background.
Here is what wikipedia lists as his acheivements: Justice Katju is the son of late Justice S.N.Katju, formerly a Judge of the Allahabad High Court. His grandfather Dr.Kailash Nath Katju, was one of India's leading lawyers and participated in the country's freedom movement. Dr. K. N. Katju was the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, the Governor of West Bengal and Orissa, as well as the Union Law, Home and Defence Minister.Justice Katju's uncle, Justice B.N.Katju, was the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court.
The fact of the matter is that Katju was blessed by birth. While 99.99 percent of all scribes aren't. There may be an exception like Khushwant Singh who is also in an illustrious company like Katju. But we should remember that he is an EXCEPTION.
By painting the scribes in India with one brush, Katju has forced me to also point out that all Supreme Court and High Court judges are of illustrious and well connected backgrounds. And I may add that the present Chief Justice of India SH Kapadia is an EXCEPTION as far as higher judiciary in this country is concerned.
