Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said it is a “vintage Congress culture” to browbeat and bully others, remarks that came in reaction to more than 600 lawyers writing to the Chief Justice of India, alleging that a “vested interest group” is trying to put pressure on the judiciary and defame courts.

“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,” Modi said on X.

“No wonder 140 crore Indians are rejecting them,” the prime minister said and tagged a post that carried the letter written by the lawyers.
