While the contents of the letter have not been made public, the participation of DMK and AAP is significant as both parties have distanced themselves from the Congress-led INDIA bloc in recent months. Lok Sabha MP Hanuman Beniwal's Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), however, did not sign the letter. Announcing the development, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the decision to write to the Chief Justice was taken at the INDIA Janbandhan meeting held on June 8.
