“The judiciary does not adequately reflect the country’s diversity. A more representative Bench would enrich jurisprudence. This problem requires action on the part of the higher judiciary to appoint more judges from diverse social and economic backgrounds.
– Justice N.V. Ramana

“Modi government’s ‘Make in India’ is a classic case of giving importance to publicity rather than development.

– Mallikarjun Kharge
Leader of Opposition,
Rajya Sabha
