Rohit Pawar, the MLA from Karjat-Jamkhed and a leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), has publicly criticized Chief Justice of India Surya Kant's recent remarks that compared unemployed youth to 'parasites' and 'cockroaches.' Pawar described these comments as 'unacceptable' and indicative of intolerance towards criticism. He expressed that such language is particularly hurtful to a generation grappling with unfulfilled promises and rising unemployment. The Chief Justice's comments were made during a case concerning the designation of senior advocates, where he questioned a lawyer about joining 'parasites' in society. Pawar argued that it is inappropriate to group unemployed youth and RTI activists with those who exploit the system. He asserted that individuals who challenge authority and demand accountability are vital to democracy.
