Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal address media after opposition leaders met Vice President Venkaiah Naidu over Chief Justice Dipak Misra's impeachment issue: Key points of Press Briefing

-71 MPs had signed the impeachment motion (against CJI) but as 7 have retired the number is now 64. We have more than the minimum requirement needed to entertain the motion and we are sure that the Hon Chairman will take action: Ghulam Nabi Azad

-We have moved an impeachment motion seeking the removal of CJI Dipak Misra.

-We wish this day had never come in the fabric of our constitutional framework. Since the day he (Dipak Misra) was appointed as CJI there have been questions raised in the manner in which he has dealt with certain cases.

-When the judges of the Supreme Court themselves believe that the Judiciary's independence is at threat, alluding to the functioning of the office of the CJI, should the nation stand still and do nothing?.
