Senior Advocate Criticizes Congress Request to Meet Chief Justice on Election Issues
Senior advocate Aryama Sundaram criticized Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge for seeking a meeting with Chief Justice of India Surya Kant regarding Election Commission and electoral roll issues. Sundaram described the request as ill-advised, emphasizing judicial propriety and the separation of powers. He noted that related matters are already before the Supreme Court and should be addressed through judicial proceedings rather than direct meetings with the judiciary. The CJI declined the Congress request, reinforcing this stance.
