“To browbeat and bully others is vintage Congress culture. 5 decades ago itself they had called for a “committed judiciary” - they shamelessly want commitment from others for their selfish interests but desist from any commitment towards the nation.

These maneuvers pose a threat to our courts and undermine our democratic foundation,” their letter, dated March 26 and addressed to CJI D Y Chandrachud, asserted.
