Jairam writes to RS chairman Dhankhar protesting his remarks on Sonia’s statement

New Delhi: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh Friday wrote to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar protesting his critical remarks on party leader Sonia Gandhi over her statement the government is seeking to “deligitimise the judiciary”.
In his letter, the AICC general secretary (communications) said Gandhi’s utterances reflect a lack of faith not in democracy, but in those who claim to be its champions today.
Ramesh alleged no previous government has “interfered as excessively and thoroughly” in the functioning of judiciary as the incumbent led by the BJP.
