A letter signed by 600 senior advocates, including prominent names, alleging pressure on the judiciary to influence outcomes involving political figures and corruption sparked controversy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi supported the lawyers, calling it "vintage Congress culture," while the opposition accused him of being involved in the effort to "give legal guarantee to corruption." The letter expressed concern over attempts to discredit the judiciary with false narratives and attacks on judges' honor, claiming it undermines public trust in the courts and the democratic fabric.
