'How shameless are you, Milord?', Mahua Moitra slams Justice Nazeer's appointment as governor

The opposition parties have targeted the government over the appointment of Justice Nazeer as Andhra Pradesh governor, days after he retired as a Supreme Court judge.

After the Congress, Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra on 13 February slammed the appointment of Justice Nazeer, “Yet another SC judge appointed governor less than 2 months after retirement. Majoritarian govt doesn’t care about perception but how shameless are you, MiLord to accept it?”, Moitra said in a tweet.
