Answering a question, he said, “This report is not of our tenure. But, we shall honor the court instructions. Even if the Chief Justice desired by resignation, I would abide by him.”
When asked about rumors about the government, he said, whenever you will ask me about the government, “I say, it will complete its tenure.”
