Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju confirmed all political parties support the impeachment of Justice Yashwant Varma after sacks of burnt cash were found at his Delhi residence. Rijiju stressed that judicial corruption is a serious issue requiring unity. Congress also backed the move, citing the need to uphold the judiciary’s integrity. A judge’s removal requires signatures from 100 Lok Sabha and 50 Rajya Sabha MPs. Justice Varma denied wrongdoing, but an in-house inquiry found misconduct warranting removal. Rijiju dismissed criticism from Kapil Sibal, saying Parliament will not be guided by individual agendas but by collective integrity. (PC: India Today)
