Lutyens Durbaris – Destroying a Man’s Reputation
click play to listen to the article
Sita is the goddess who denotes sacrifice, good character, good fortune, prosperity, success, and happiness. Willingly renouncing the comforts of the palace, she joined Rama in his exile. Returning back to civilization after 14 long years, she was forced into another exile when a Dhobi made slanderous remarks against her. This story of Mata Sita from our ancient past stands relevant even today.
Justice Sikri retired on 6 March 2019, but not long before that, this ‘Gentleman’ Supreme Court judge was made to go through a shameful hit-job by the Lutyens darbaris. Justice Sikri, an outstanding, totally upright, extremely competent and honest judge, had to withdraw his consent for a post-retirement position in the Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal (CSAT), because of our rotten and sold-out media.
They didn’t go after a corrupt politician. They didn’t go after an entitled bureaucrat. They went after a judge — a man of principle — because he refused to bend. He refused to play puppet to their false morality and deceitful narratives. In Lutyens Delhi, integrity is a threat. And Justice Sikri was guilty of the crime of being principled.
This is how the Lutyens ecosystem functions — it builds no one, only breaks down those who don’t serve its political purpose. Justice Sikri stood for law, not ideology. That was unacceptable. For these gatekeepers of misinformation, a judge with a spine is more dangerous than a criminal in power.
And so the campaign began: whisper columns, sly headlines, and loaded insinuations. They couldn’t attack the judgment, so they attacked the judge. They couldn’t dismantle the facts, so they manufactured motives. This wasn’t critique — it was a character assassination masquerading as journalism.
Justice Sikri didn’t ask to be dragged into politics. But in India, today, if you don’t cheer for their agenda, you’re the enemy. And they will destroy you.
On 8 January 2019, the Supreme Court of India set aside the government’s decision to send CBI Director Alok Verma on leave. It formed a High Powered Committee to decide Verma’s fate, comprising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge, and a representative of the judiciary — Justice A.K. Sikri.
The committee reviewed all relevant documents and found Verma unfit to continue. The majority (Modi and Sikri) voted for his removal. That’s all it took for the Congress ecosystem to explode. The so-called Fourth Pillar of Democracy — led by a biased, power-drunk media — immediately declared that Sikri had acted in exchange for a post-retirement position. This, despite irrefutable proof that the Modi government had approached Sikri for the CSAT nomination a full month earlier, in early December.
The lie was convenient. The facts were inconvenient. And so, the media stuck to the lie.
The suggestion of quid pro quo was not just baseless — it was criminal. Justice Sikri’s decades of service were erased by a single manufactured narrative. The media didn’t investigate. They speculated. They didn’t inform. They accused. They didn’t ask questions. They launched a witch-hunt.
Justice Sikri ultimately had to decline the CSAT position. Not because he was guilty — but because this corrupt narrative machinery had made it impossible for him to serve with dignity.
The Congress ecosystem succeeded in their objective: tarnish an honest man to protect their own compromised poster boy — Alok Verma. The same Verma whose record was under serious question.
What’s worse, the damage didn’t stop at character assassination. It set a dangerous precedent — that even Supreme Court judges can be hounded into silence if they don’t endorse the Lutyens agenda. It told every upright officer in India: your reputation is a liability if you follow procedure. You are disposable.
What we saw wasn’t outrage — it was orchestration. A carefully crafted ambush disguised as moral indignation. And the target was never just Sikri — it was the integrity of the judiciary itself.
In the end, the real damage wasn’t just to Justice Sikri. The real casualty was public trust in institutions. And that, perhaps, was the goal all along.
Justice Sikri is not an isolated victim. Since 2014, the Lutyens cabal — deeply embedded in media, academia, and politics — has waged a non-stop psychological war against anyone remotely neutral or pro-institution. If you don’t parrot their anti-BJP, anti-Modi rhetoric, you are labelled a sellout, a propagandist, or worse, corrupt.
Their journalists act less like reporters and more like political mercenaries. Their anchors don’t debate — they declare. Their “exposés” are little more than gossip passed off as investigative journalism.
Every independent voice is a threat. Every honest official becomes a target.
The case of Justice Sikri represents a dangerous shift — the politicisation of judges who act without bias. It tells every honest officer: toe our line, or face annihilation. The rot is no longer ideological. It is operational.
Even judiciary, once sacred, is no longer off-limits for this cartel. And it’s always the same formula: pick a target, frame a motive, manufacture outrage, and let social media do the rest.
This is not democracy. This is digital lynching at the hands of a privileged elite who cannot digest their loss of political control.
Justice Sikri’s ordeal is more than an isolated injustice — it’s a symbol of how deeply Congress and its media cronies detest independent minds. Their ecosystem thrives on control, not truth. If a judge upholds due process and it happens to hurt their narrative, then that judge must be finished.
What did Justice Sikri do wrong? He followed the rules. He judged impartially. He exercised constitutional responsibility. And that alone made him a threat to the narrative cartel.
Under the BJP, especially under Narendra Modi, institutions are being strengthened. The judiciary operates freely, bureaucrats work without political handlers, and decision-making has been decentralised. But the opposition — particularly Congress — sees this as a problem. They prefer a pliable system, a system where outcomes are pre-decided and procedure is a joke.
Justice Sikri did not toe the line. So they drew a target on his back.
But this isn’t just about him. This is about the battle for India’s institutions. Do we want a system where judges are blackmailed by headlines? Or one where they’re protected by truth?
BJP stands with integrity. It allows law to prevail. Congress, on the other hand, allows propaganda to dictate verdicts. And when propaganda fails, they unleash their hit squads disguised as journalists.
The lesson is not just for the judiciary. It’s for every upright citizen, every honest administrator, every apolitical professional: if you do your job with integrity under a BJP government, you will be hunted by the Congress ecosystem. They don’t want justice — they want obedience. They don’t want institutions — they want instruments.
In their desperation to attack Modi, they are willing to burn down every pillar of democracy, including the judiciary. But in that fire, they only expose their moral bankruptcy.
Justice Sikri was one casualty. Bharat must not be the next.
