Two students from Lucknow have sent a legal notice to Press Council of India Chairman Justice Markandey Katju for his comment at a seminar last week that “90 percent of Indians are idiots”. The notice to Katju was sent by law student Tanaya Thakur and her brother, Class XI student Aditya Thakur. Both said they found the comments hurtful, “We are deeply hurt and humiliated by Justice Katju’s words,” the duo said on Monday, adding that Justice Katju’s statements “will depreciate the reputation of India and its citizens”. “A person of Justice Katju’s stature should have deliberated on the implications of his statement,” they said, and sought a public apology from the former Supreme Court judge. The students said if a public apology was not forthcoming, they would move the court in a month’s time.
