What the coverage says
The Supreme Court has issued contempt notices to all office bearers of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee in response to a plea concerning a deleted social media post that targeted Chief Justice Surya Kant and called for his resignation. According to Hindustan Times, the contested remarks stemmed from comments made during October protests organized by the INDIA bloc. The Hindu and NDTV added that the viral post appeared on the state unit's official X account on October 12 before being removed amid widespread social media criticism. In issuing the directive, the court invoked an "iron hand" treatment, with Times of India noting the bench's warning that the matter would be dealt with accordingly, while Hindustan Times reported the court's emphasis that the "Constitution supreme" applies to the situation.
