Priyanka Gandhi, 100+ MPs seek impeachment of Justice Swaminathan over Hindu rights verdict

• Priyanka Gandhi and over 100 MPs initiated an impeachment motion against Madras High Court Justice G.R. Swaminathan.
• The impeachment move stems from Justice Swaminathan's December 4th ruling favoring Hindus in a temple-dargah dispute.
• Justice Swaminathan ordered the Subramania Swamy Temple to light lamps on Deepathoon, asserting temple rights despite objections.
• The Tamil Nadu government refused to implement the order, citing law and order concerns, and has challenged it in the Supreme Court.
• The judge's ruling emphasized that lighting lamps would not affect dargah rights but not doing so could jeopardize temple rights, citing potential encroachment.
