You are part of the system. In the excitement of doing so much, you should not cross the Lakshman Rekha. If you do not balance your comments, you will destroy the institution. We do not punish for contempt so easily. I have not held a single person guilty of contempt of court in my entire career. There is a Lakshman line for everything, you should not cross the Lakshman line.
