NEW DELHI, Mar 29: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday called for neutralising the "anti-national" narrative regarding India's judicial system and democratic fabric, saying it cannot be compromised by any individual or group.
He also said that there is a need to look for "these people" who are "certainly not friendly to this nation".
His remarks come close on the heels of more than 600 lawyers, including senior advocate Harish Salve and Bar Council chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra, writing to Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, alleging that a "vested interest group" is trying to put pressure on the judiciary and defame courts, especially in cases of corruption involving politicians.
"These tactics are damaging to our courts and threaten our democratic fabric," the lawyers drawn from across the country said in the latter dated March 26.
