GSN:“Lordship, as we all know, the pioneer of our Constitution is Dr. B. R. Ambedkar…”
Before he can move further, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta (TM) cuts in—correcting not the argument, but the very name.
TM:“OR It is Mr. Gopal Sankaranarayan..”
To this, GSN—never one to miss an opportunity for wit—shoots back with a grin:
GSN:“Or perhaps… Mr. Rahul Gandhi?”
For a moment, the entire courtroom freezes. A pin-drop silence. Judges exchange glances. The gallery shifts in unease. The remark lands like a thunderclap—bold, cheeky, and completely unexpected in a case of such national importance.
Now, the real question is—does making such a daring quip in the middle of a high-profile constitutional battle not affect the mood, gravity, or even perception of the proceedings? Or is this just GSN’s trademark flair, pushing the boundaries of courtroom rhetoric?
And let’s not forget the subtext—there seems to be an undercurrent, a silent duel, between GSN and TM. After all, Tushar Mehta rarely interrupts anyone—but the moment GSN takes the podium, the correction comes. Coincidence? Or a subtle power play?
Does anyone here have inside scoop on this courtroom drama?
