New Delhi, Jan 12 Senior pioneer of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Subramanian Swamy, on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must intercede in the matter of four senior Supreme Court judges opening up to the world about protests against the Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra.

Swamy said, "We can't criticise them (the four judges). They are men of great integrity and have relinquished a great deal of their legitimate profession, where they could have profited as senior direction. We should regard them. Presently when these four have raised these issues, at that point the Prime Minister ought to intercede in the issue as the leader of the governance."
