BJD: Won't back impeachment move against CJI

BHUBANESWAR: The Naveen Patnaik-led BJD on Friday said that it would not support the impeachment motion against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.

BJD Rajya Sabha MP Prashanta Nanda said such rumours are being spread by political rivals. "We have the highest regard for the CJI. We strongly condemn

social media

messages being spread by rumour-mongers.

Those with vested interests must have done this. They believe in divisive politics," he said. A poster has been doing the rounds on social

media sites

claiming BJD is in favour of the impeachment motion.
