Honest multitude outshines dishonest few: Chief Justice at NLSIU after student stir

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday criticised what he called attempts by “external forces” to obstruct the National Law School of India University’s convocation, weeks after a section of students opposed his proposed attendance.

Addressing the rescheduled ceremony in Bengaluru as the university’s Chancellor, the CJI praised students for choosing “the sanctity of open discourse over the cowardice of suppression”.
