Kerala Congress apologises to Chief Justice over social media post

The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) has tendered an apology to Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna following the publication of a controversial post on the social media platform X that demanded his resignation. KPCC President Sunny Joseph stated that the contentious post was released without obtaining necessary prior approval or consultation from party leadership. Joseph clarified that the social media content did not reflect the party's official stance and constituted a procedural lapse by those responsible for managing the committee's digital presence. The party has initiated steps to review its social media protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future. The apology comes amid heightened scrutiny of political communications on digital platforms and the judiciary's sensitivity to public statements questioning its institutional integrity.
