Chief Justice of India Justice DY Chandrachud sang carols at a Christmas Day event held within the premises of the Supreme Court on Monday.

Apart from them, some other dignitaries who were present sang the Christmas carols during the programme. The CJI sang all of the holiday favourites, including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Jingle Bells," to share the festive spirit.

In his speech at the event, CJI also said, "We lost four members of our armed forces a few days ago. So as we celebrate Christmas, let us not forget those on the borders who are spending these cold mornings protecting us and our nation. When we sing, we also sing for them in celebration."

“We will give up everything, even if it comes to our lives as so many people in our Armed Forces do in the service of the nation," he added.

This incident sparked a controversy with netizens questioning why he hasn't celebrated other festivals in the same way as he did during Christmas.

I have never seen him talk so much on Diwali or Holi. Is he Christian? What is the eagerness to celebrate Christmas???

People asking why he didn't/can't sing Bhajan on Deepavali, Holi..etc.

Reason is very simple, and unfortunately it's true for most Hindus who have been through this kind of educational journey... pic.twitter.com/WRxbgKk96f
