Former Supreme Court judge Justice Markandey Katju has sparked many a controversy thanks to his posts on Facebook in which he has held forth on almost any topic that takes his fancy. But no more. Katju on Tuesday night announced he is quitting Facebook – in his characteristic style.

Katju, who has around 3.84 lakh followers on the platform, said he’s exiting the platform since it only brings him abuses. Oh and he also called people who had abused him ‘stupid’ and arrogant’.
