Rahul Gandhi Rejects All CIC Nominees, Submits Dissent Note After Meeting PM Modi, Shah

  • PM Modi, Amit Shah, and Rahul Gandhi met to discuss the appointment of the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC).
  • Rahul Gandhi submitted a dissent note, rejecting all names proposed by the Centre for the CIC post.
  • Gandhi expressed concerns about the 2:1 ratio in the selection committee, stating he had "no voice."
  • The meeting also aimed to select the Vigilance Commissioner in CVC.
  • The Supreme Court had previously directed the Centre to expeditiously fill vacancies in the CIC and State Information Commissions.
