Chief Justice Abhijeet Dipke criticised politicians engaging in Hindu‑Muslim divisive politics, telling them to 'go to Pakistan'.
Chief Justice Abhijeet Dipke made a stark statement calling on politicians who employ Hindu‑Muslim divisive tactics to "go to Pakistan". The remark was issued in a public address where the CJP highlighted the dangers of polarising rhetoric in a pluralistic society.
Dipke’s comment underscores the judiciary’s stance on maintaining communal harmony and discouraging political actors from exploiting religious identities for electoral advantage. He warned that such strategies undermine democratic values and threaten social cohesion.
The statement has drawn attention from political observers who note that the judiciary is increasingly vocal about the need for responsible governance. While no official response has been issued by political parties, the remark is likely to spark debate on the role of religion in politics.
The CJP’s remarks come at a time when communal tensions have occasionally flared in various parts of the country, prompting calls for a more inclusive political discourse.
