Questions were being raised on the judiciary.
In fact, recently it was claimed that a large amount of currency notes have been recovered from the house of Delhi High Court Judge Yashwant Verma. The Supreme Court had constituted an inquiry committee in this case. However, after this incident, questions began to be raised on transparency in the judiciary. India’s Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar also targeted the judiciary in this matter.
