The launch of former Law Minister Ashwani Kumar's book 'Democracy in Retreat' was attended by Supreme Court judge AK Sikri, former diplomat Pavan Varma, and journalist Neerja Chowdhury.
Addressing a press conference in Ludhiana, Tewari said it's unfortunate whenever a leader quits Congress party but the ambition for a Rajya Sabha seat 'makes people do many things'.
Kumar has quit the party after a long association of 46 years, joining a list of big names like R P N Singh, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Jitin Prasada and Sushmita Dev.
3 former law ministers and Congress leaders including Ashwani Kumar wrote in a letter that delay in convening the Rajasthan assembly session will create a constitutional crisis.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
