Law minister posting about judges’ meet on social media was a mistake: Vishwa Hindu Parishad

Union Minister of Law Arjun Ram Meghwal posting on social media about the meeting of retired judges organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad earlier this month was a mistake, the Hindutva group’s president Alok Kumar has said, reported Bar and Bench on Monday.

On September 8, a total of 30 retired Supreme Court and High Court judges took part in a meeting conducted by the organisation’s legal cell. Meghwal was also present at the meeting.

The minister had shared images from the meeting on X and said that he took part in detailed conversations about “topics related to the legal reforms needed to create a developed India”.

Kumar told Bar and Bench that the meeting was a private gathering focused on discussing issues related to the betterment of India.

“Only and only former retired judges attended the event,” Bar and Bench quoted Kumar as saying. “It was closed-door event. Law minister [Meghwal] making picture public was a mistake.”
