Over 200 MPs from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha submitted a motion seeking the impeachment of Justice Yashwant Varma on Monday in connection with the cash discovery row. The petition was backed by 145 Lok Sabha MPs and 63 Rajya Sabha MPs, surpassing the constitutional requirement. Key figures like Rahul Gandhi, Anurag Thakur, Supriya Sule, and KC Venugopal signed the motion. Justice Varma denies wrongdoing, but a Supreme Court panel found evidence of misconduct. Union minister Kiren Rijiju confirmed cross-party support for the move under Articles 124, 217, and 218 of the Constitution. (PC: HT)
