Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said he had formally recorded his dissent over the selection process for the next CBI Director, alleging that the exercise was “biased”. Gandhi said he wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after attending the high-level selection committee meeting at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg. “The Leader of Opposition is not a rubber stamp,” Gandhi said in a post on X, adding that he could not “abdicate” his constitutional responsibility by participating in what he described as an unfair process. The panel included Prime Minister Modi, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Gandhi. Several senior IPS officers are reportedly under consideration for the post. (PC: HT)
