Attempt to attack CJI Gavai: Fringe flare-up or Opposition plot to polarise?

In this episode of "India First," the big focus is on the incident at the Supreme Court where a 71-year-old lawyer attempted to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India BR Gavai. The individual reportedly shouted that an "insult to Sanatan will not be tolerated," triggering a political firestorm. Chief Justice Gavai stated that such events do not impact him. This action prompted the opposition to criticise the government, alleging a "toxic environment" has been fostered over the past decade, leading to the targeting of the Chief Justice. The episode examines whether self-styled custodians of Sanatan Dharma feel emboldened and if their actions receive support. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to CJI Gavai, condemning the attack and stating it "has angered every Indian." The discussion also addresses allegations of a "casteist remark" as a potential factor and the politicisation of the judiciary, with some attributing blame to BJP and RSS. Additionally, the programme covers Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir's offer of the Pasni port to the United States and updates on Israel-Hamas ceasefire negotiations.
