NRC remark: Why didn’t Subhani Gogoi wait till he retired?

he unwritten rule is that people in high positions should exercise reserve, and speak and act with restraint, so that the positions they espouse doesn’t muddy the waters or unleash passions. Chief TJustice of India Ranjan Gogoi might have done well to heed this when, at a book release recently, he tried to defend the National Register of Citizens (NRC) as it pertains to his home state, Assam. It’s a little unfor- tunate that the CJI’s observations came just a fortnight before he’s due to retire. It would have been different if Mr Gogoi stated his positions on the deeply contentious issue, which got mixed up with communal politics in the country, after he left office. That would have helped distance the office of CJI from a matter that is being fiercely debated in India and abroad. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has recently voiced wariness about the NRC. Others have commented on the subject from internation- al forums.
