(Judge Chittaranjan Das of Calcutta High Court)
Leader Online Desk: I have been associated with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) since childhood. The team shaped my personality. It helped instill courage and patriotism in me; but I never used my organization for my career. Because it is against our principles. While judging, I weighed everyone in the same scales, be it Communist, BJP, Congress or Trinamool. I am not related to anyone. I am not against any political person. Everyone was equal in front of me, Kolkata High Court Judge Chittaranjan Das presented his career so far in these words. He was speaking at a farewell function organized on the occasion of retirement day.
37 years away from 'National Volunteer Union' due to my work

I learned there to be brave, honest and considerate of others, patriotism and commitment to the work where you work. I must admit that I was and am a member of the National Volunteer Union. Because of my work, I kept a distance from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for almost 37 years.”
