#BREAKING CJI Surya Kant clarifies his remarks from yesterday's hearing, saying a section of media "misquoted" him.
"What I had specifically criticised were those who have entered professions like the Bar with the aid of fake and bogus degrees. Such persons have sneaked into media, social media, and other noble professions and hence they are like parasites," the CJI says.
The CJI had yesterday referred to such persons as "youngsters like cockroaches" during a hearing, remarks that were widely reported as an attack on unemployed youth.
"It is totally baseless to suggest that I criticised the youth of our nation. Every youth of India inspires me," he adds.
