New Delhi: Shubham, the lawyer who created a stir in the Supreme Court by throwing a shoe at Chief Justice of India B.R.Gavai, has now retracted his criticism of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s governance. He has extended his support to the state’s “bulldozer policy”, a term widely used for demolition drives targeting alleged illegal constructions.
In a new video statement, Shubham said his earlier comments against Yogi Adityanath’s administration were based on “misunderstanding and misinformation”. He praised the chief minister’s style of governance, describing it as strict and effective. He also denied any political affiliation or influence behind his courtroom act, stating that it was not driven by any party agenda.
The lawyer had earlier condemned the bulldozer actions, calling them unlawful and biased against minorities. His reversal has drawn attention on social media, where users questioned the sudden change in his position.
The incident in the Supreme Court led to widespread criticism across legal circles, who described it as an unacceptable breach of courtroom decorum. Many lawyers urged for restraint and accountability in expressing dissent.
Shubham’s latest statement marks a dramatic shift in his public image. Observers note that his support for Yogi Adityanath aligns with the ruling establishment’s narrative on law and order in Uttar Pradesh.
