Line Fali Nariman loved to speak, quoting a Mahathir era Malaysian judge, whenever freedom of speech figured in his speech…which was often… ”Of course there is freedom of speech here. But whether there is freedom after speech, we don’t know..” RIP the moral custodian of constitutional values & basic structure. We’d hoped you’d never go..
@ShekharGupta One ray of hope gone forever. Now, who from lutyenites will fight against this fascist regime of Modi ?
@ShekharGupta Indeed a great jurist. We used to quote his statement ‘Advice is nice / On it I’ve thriven / Not mother’s or other’s / But what I’ve given!’ in our office conversations to reject somebody’s advice. Great soul….may his soul attain Sadgati
@ShekharGupta @MayaramArvind Constitutional Values have deteriorated in the recent past.
@ShekharGupta RIP Fali S Nariman, Indian Legal Legend
@ShekharGupta I was reading about him yesterday it turns out that he argued in favour of Union Carbide in the infamous Bhopal gas tragedy.
@ShekharGupta "Fali Nariman, a stalwart for freedom of speech, leaves a void. His words echo the delicate balance between expression and consequence. RIP to a guardian of constitutional values. #FaliNariman #ConstitutionalLegacy"
