CHENNAI: Retired Supreme Court judge J Chelameswar released ‘Constitutional Concerns: Writings on Law and Life’, a book by apex court lawyer Kaleeswaram Raj, at the Asian College of Journalism on Saturday.
“The author has tried to encapsulate the severe setback to India’s polity from 2018 to 2021. These four years in continuation with the political shift after Narendra Modi took charge in 2014, point to the country’s transformation.
