And so far as the chairman of Press Council is concerned, this post by convention has been given to retired judges of Supreme Court," Katju said. He also said that many retired judges of Supreme Court had been given appointments. On Sunday, the BJP leader and PCI chairman were locked in a war of words over an article by Katju against Modi after Jaitley said that his attacks on non-Congress governments whether in West Bengal, Bihar or Gujarat seem more in the nature of "thanks-giving" to those who provided him with a post-retirement job." He demanded that Katju resign from his post. The Press Council of India Chief hit back at Jaitley accusing him of twisting facts and asked him to quit politics.
