Breaking: 272 Eminent Figures Write Open Letter Accusing Rahul Gandhi Of Undermining Institutions

A major political controversy has erupted as 272 prominent personalities from across the country have signed an open letter against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The signatories include 14 former ambassadors and 123 retired bureaucrats, along with several distinguished public figures from various fields. The letter accuses Rahul Gandhi of deliberately tarnishing and discrediting India’s constitutional institutions through his remarks and political conduct. According to the open letter, the signatories allege that Gandhi’s statements weaken public trust in democratic structures and create a misleading narrative about the functioning of key institutions. They claim that such comments not only harm India’s global image but also undermine the credibility of bodies that uphold the constitution. The letter expresses concern over what it describes as a sustained attempt to politicize independent institutions for personal and party gains. The development has intensified political debates nationwide, with strong reactions expected from both supporters and critics of Rahul Gandhi. This high-profile intervention by notable figures adds a new dimension to the ongoing national political discourse. Further responses from the Congress party and opposition leaders are awaited. ABP News continues to track all updates related to this breaking story.
