A collective of 272 distinguished public figures, among them 16 judges, 123 retired civil servants including 14 ex-envoys, and 133 veterans from the armed forces, has issued a strongly worded open letter criticising Rahul Gandhi and the Congress leadership. The group has accused them of deliberately trying to undermine key constitutional bodies, particularly the Election Commission of India.

Those who endorsed the statement include several high-profile names, such as ex-RAW chief Sanjeev Tripathi, former Jammu & Kashmir DGP SP Vaid, retired diplomat Lakshmi Puri, and others known for their long public service careers.
