Watch | 600 Lawyers’ Letter a Threat to Judiciary by BJP Proxies: Indira Jaising

In a hard-hitting and often passionate interview about the letter written by 600 lawyers, including Harish Salve, to the Chief Justice of India, alleging that ‘a vested interest group is trying to pressure the judiciary,’ former Additional Solicitor General and one of the leading lights of the legal profession, Indira Jaising, has stated that ‘the letter is a threat to the judiciary.’

In an interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, she argues that, contrary to its claim that unnamed lawyers are attempting to ‘pressure the judiciary, influence judicial process and defame our courts,’ this letter is guilty of doing just that.
