✦ AI Brief
Rahul Gandhi has voiced his dissent in a letter to the Prime Minister regarding the selection of a new director for the Central Bureau of Investigation. He alleges that the selection process has been reduced to a "mockery" by ensuring a "pre-decided candidate" is selected. Gandhi claims that he was denied crucial information, including self-appraisal reports and 360-degree reports of eligible candidates, which is necessary to assess each candidate's history and performance. This, he says, makes a mockery of the selection process.
