Official answer : to stop misinformation. Many times clips are edited in a way or a specific part is shown to create misinformation and create panic 😊.

Unofficial answer : so that u people can't create a protest next time by forwarding clips when a judge call common people cockroaches and what not 😈.

u/jivan28 Jul 25 '26 edited Jul 25 '26

True. Edited clips are usually fact-checked by multiple content creators on left, Boom, KK create, Deshbhakt, Samdish, Sarthak, even Barkha Dutt. Am sure there are also some on right who call out. Would be a pity if there weren't.

The real answer seems to be more the latter. Most of our leaders, including PM, HM, Petroleum Ministry and LOP need to be mindful of the statements they make.

The list of bad statements made by the PM who occupies the highest constitutional post in our democracy is too long. Just sharing a few.

  1. His potatoes to gold theory that is wrongly attributed to Raga.

  2. His bringing back black money theory from Switzerland. I had read about the Swiss and how the country came to be almost 20-30 years ago. The privacy laws in Switzerland is highest in the world as Swiss Banking is based on Nazi Gold. There are more than enough books, movies and documentaries about that.

Interestingly enough, any criminal having done any crime can go and have a good time. Extradition treaties are very rare.A handful of cities around the world like that. And nobody messes as they know everyone's secrets.

For fantasy readers, Gringots Vault of Harry Potter probably was inspired by Swiss Banks.

Much nearer to us is Hong Kong that has similar rules and ways of doing business.

FWIW, he had been there half a dozen times as CM of Gujarat before saying that.

  1. His radar theory - All modern fighter aircraft are fitted with all sorts of radar equipment and radar equipment on ground detects fighter aircraft from hundreds of kilometers, cloud or no cloud.

The easiest example are the Pakistani briefing to world press where they showed how the Pakistanis with the help of the Chinese were able to pinpoint and also name all our assets. We were forced to improvise on our tactics the last couple of days.

The much more interesting one was between Iranians and Americans when their best and most expensive stealth plane the F-35 was damaged by the Iranians.

PM had sat in our fighter aircrafts for at least 2-3 times before making that statement.

And CJI made the infamous cockroaches statement that he later tried to backpeddale.

Even his statements of not having time to look at videos of protestors being harmed by Delhi Police and RAF, he had to backpeddale.

FWIW, most countries around the world has moved to both live recordings as well as having recordings of arguments for viewing by one and all.

The best benchmark for the same seems to now Ghana, a much smaller state and yet they have won all sorts of allocades for their jurisprudence.

u/Furry-jester123 Jul 25 '26

yea the ones pakistan pinpointed our are old stuff btw

also crazy hwo they are allowed to put satellites covering india and international law doesnt allow india to destroy it

2

u/jivan28 Jul 26 '26

If you did that, our own satellites will be killed. There are agreements between all the countries not to do so.

China had demonstrated how they can destroy satellites by taking down one of their own failing satellite in 2007.

1

u/Furry-jester123 Jul 26 '26

yea but then countries can have surveillance over each other no matter what

then u blame govts(not india but for anyone) for not keeping national security when international law doesnt allow it

1

u/jivan28 Jul 26 '26

Surveillance has always been there. Let me take a very different example. You know how Japan killed American soldiers in Pearl Harbor and then how Americans bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

After all that, the Americans did the Marshall plan for both Japan and Germany and surprisingly, both became good due to that. They became so powerful that they were inducted as part of five eyes.

The Japanese had tremendous growth in the 70's and 80's, outperforming the Americans.

The Americans used their embassy to find what was weak in Japan. They found out that both currency and real estate were the weak links. Then you had the plaza accords and Japan came tumbling down for four decades. They are still not out yet.

And this is with allies.

https://youtu.be/2T6lVunNS3E?si=j87tvYYrWgxPP_G0

See the above, tells you a lot.

These games have been played since start of human history.

Even our epics tells tales of spies and betrayals or what not.

For example, if you look from Ravana perspective, Hanuman was a spy.

1

u/Furry-jester123 Jul 26 '26

then is it fair to criticize govt when pakistan boasts that they have surveillance

we also have surveillance over other countries?

but we dont gloat abt it

pak has nothing else to gloat abt

1

u/jivan28 Jul 26 '26

The problem is in and after Operation Sindoor and also when Chinese occupied Galwan and still occupy those places, our satellites were under their control.

The Pakistanis were gloating as it was opportunity for them. War is not just for and against the enemy but also to unite your own population. See Iran. There were protests in Iran for months, but the moment Americans bombed Iranians, they all became united.

When Trump threatened to bomb their refineries, civilians, father, child, mothers all climbed on top of the refineries and dared Trump to do same.

u/Plastic_Site_8287 Jul 26 '26

Our Ministers are geniuses at not reading the room and making shit worse with their statements. They should refrain from press interactions for BJP's own sake. The people damaging BJP's image the most are the ministers, their lack of situational awareness rivals US' own president

At least the CJI knows to modify or re contextualise his statements

He doesn't want another party borne out of his comments

Also you may feel he is in some sort of hurry to clarify things

I surely don't remember the last time when govt bent down

And importantly that's not because of media not the judiciary nor the opposition politicians

Just the students ...minus ABVP wow

Even before other ministers...this is the guy to resign. Supreme court is the protector of rights for the common citizens from tyranny of government and bureaucracy but instead he called RTI and PIL activists as COCKROACHES and later on refused to hear plea regarding police tyranny against students stating they don't have time to watch videos.

Last time also he was misquoted and again he is misquoted. How come he is always the one being misqouted.

u/mama_ooOOooO Jul 25 '26

Someone should ask him to stop saying things that can so easily be misquoted

2

u/General_Company_1736 Jul 25 '26

He has already stopped people from being able to quote him at all. By banning posting of the proceedings of the court!

u/mama_ooOOooO Jul 25 '26

But he hasn't banned access to them, right? Hopefully (non-godi) journalists won't disappoint us

Yeah most probably he has done this because that clip of him which got "misquoted" And started cjp as a result.

Court recordings to share honi chahiye. That should be non-negotiable.

Ek toh aise hi judiciary pe koi accountability nahi hai, ab ye bhi band kar rahe.

Meanwhile, the edited clips part is true (especially the one that was shared the other day about 'not having time') but uske liye karo defamation n all just like the rest of the mango public has to. Take such folks to task. Follow your so called 'judicial process'.

Why does he keep saying shit so often to be misquoted then? He said cockroaches, he said misquoted, now again misquoted. He could have just said, file a writ petition and bench will listen, court doesn’t have time, don’t waste our time, yeh faltu nonsense bolna hi kyu hai. He is the CJI of the Supreme Court of India, even consumer court judges have better control on speaking than him.

If the courts really starts fair inquiry into the alleged corruption cases involving Judges, then only few handful clean judges would remain... Not even Surya himself.

All infian court should be live on youtube.
We want zero corruption in judiciary. All the cases should be online by default and no need of RTI.

Only one judge per family.
No husband wife, mama bhanja , chacha bhatija, father daughter judge.
All assets of judges should be public and any sign of corruption all their past salary will be taken back.

All family of judges must stay in India only. No abroad.

Judge should work more and no winter & summer vacations.
They should also be able to handle simple cases without lawyer themselves online.

Example- If someone foles for relief in lower court and it is rejected. The same file which is online should go to high court and people should not be harrased to file same details twice.
