Key Points:
- SP refuses to back Justice Varma’s impeachment unless Justice Shekhar Yadav’s pending motion is taken up.
- Claims Congress repeatedly pressured SP to act, but BJP’s motives are questionable.
- Opposition appears divided, with SP accusing some parties of “rallying behind BJP.”
SP’s Bold Stand: Why They Won’t Back Justice Varma’s Impeachment Alone
In a revealing interview with The Indian Express, Samajwadi Party MP Javed Ali Khan dropped a political bombshell—explaining why his party refused to sign the impeachment notice against Justice Yashwant Varma. The SP’s stance exposes deep fissures within the Opposition, with Khan accusing the BJP of manipulating the narrative while claiming Congress aggressively lobbied for the move.
“The BJP initiated this impeachment talk, not to root out corruption, but to posture as anti-corruption crusaders,” Khan asserted. He revealed that the SP’s support hinges on one condition: the government must also address the pending impeachment motion against Allahabad High Court’s Justice Shekhar Yadav, known for his controversial speech at a VHP event.
“Congress Came to Us Several Times” – SP’s Explosive Claim
Khan disclosed that Congress leaders approached the SP “multiple times,” urging them to file an impeachment motion against Justice Varma before the BJP could. “We warned them—this is BJP’s game,” he said, suggesting some Opposition parties acted out of fear that the ruling party would seize the anti-corruption spotlight.
The SP’s defiance highlights a growing rift. While some Opposition members rushed to impeach Justice Varma, Khan insists the real threat is “the communalization of judicial institutions,” referencing Justice Yadav’s alleged misconduct.
Opposition Divided or Aligning with BJP?
When asked if the Opposition appears fractured, Khan delivered a sharp retort: “You can say we’re divided. I’d say some are rallying behind the BJP.” His remarks underscore the tension within anti-BJP ranks, where strategy clashes overshadow unity.
Meanwhile, the SP joined other parties in demanding a discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack, slamming the government’s security failures. Khan dismissed the BJP’s push to debate ‘Operation Sindoor’ as a bid to “take credit for the Army’s bravery.”
What’s Next?
If the impeachment motion against Justice Varma proceeds, the SP’s vote remains uncertain—unless Justice Yadav’s case is prioritized. “We’ll decide during voting,” Khan stated, signaling high-stakes negotiations ahead.
One thing is clear: the SP’s revelations have exposed the Opposition’s internal struggles, raising questions over who truly holds the moral high ground—and who’s playing into the BJP’s hands.
