Rahul Gandhi said he had no time to meet the Chief Justice of India, a claim that drew criticism from the BJP.
Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition, denied that he had a scheduled meeting with the Chief Justice of India (CJI). He said that his commitments left no time for such a meeting.
The statement came after the BJP released a statement accusing the Congress leader of attempting to influence the judiciary. The party’s spokesperson called the claim "unfounded" and urged the opposition to respect the independence of the Supreme Court.
The CJI’s office has not confirmed any meeting with Rahul Gandhi. No official notice of a meeting has been issued by the Supreme Court.
The incident adds to the growing tension between the ruling BJP and the opposition, as both sides continue to criticize each other over alleged attempts to sway the judiciary.
