Speaking to the media on Wednesday (October 8, 2025), Mallikarjun Kharge said, ‘We are strongly condemned by the Supreme Court’s high judge and if such ideology is with the Supreme Court lawyers, then it is an insult to the Constitution. The ideology that does not consider a human being to a human being is not according to the constitution.
He said, ‘In the name of Manusmriti, people who talk about snatching the basic rights of people should be punished. Those who are trying to spread unnecessary stress in the society and disturb peace should be punished. He further said, ‘All the progressive ideology people of this country are. I am grateful to those who move forward with the ideology of democracy.
We strongly condemn the Supreme Court that was insulted by the High Judge and if such ideology is with the Lawyers of the Supreme Court, then it is an insult to the Constitution.
The ideology that does not consider a human being a human being, that mindset is not according to the constitution.

What did Mallikarjun Kharge say about the shoe throwing lawyer,
The Congress president said, ‘A lawyer has tried to throw a shoe at the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, it is completely punishable and such people should be debarred by the Bar Association (Bar Council of India).
Kharge said, ‘The ideology of the lawyer who has tried to carry out this act is that he does not consider human beings as human and women should get the place and honor in today’s era, such ideology teaches them to deprive them and even after 78 years of the country’s independence, if there is such a mentality, then you see how such lawyers want to run it.’
He said, ‘I thank all the lawyers, institutions and all people who condemned the incident, who spoke under the Constitution, who talked about the protection of fundamental rights.’
