Justice Gogoi attended the Winter Session for the first time on Monday, the seventh time he was present in the House since his nomination to the Upper House in March 2020.

Justice Gogoi made the controversial remarks during interviews to promote his newly released memoirs ‘Justice for the Judge’.

During his interview, he told NDTV, "I go to the Rajya Sabha when I feel like, when I think there are matters of importance on which I should speak. I am a nominated member, not governed by any party whip. Therefore, whenever the bell rings for the party members to come, it does not bind me. I go there of my choice and come out on my choice. I am an independent member of the House."
