The Congress has begun the process of initiating impeachment proceedings against Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra and was collecting signatures of MPs of various opposition parties, leaders of the NCP said today.
However, there was no confirmation about the move from the Congress and its senior leaders avoided questions on the matter.
Confirming the development, NCP leader Majeed Memon said, "The Congress as the largest opposition party has belatedly initiated the proceedings for impeachment of the Chief Justice of India."
Another NCP parliamentarian D P Tripathi said, "I have signed it and others are also signing it and the process is going on."
