New Delhi, March 30: Law Minister M Veerappa Moily, Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan and Attorney General G E Vahanvati have decided against going to the United States following the Ministry of External Affairs contention that the programme does not merit presence of so many higher ups.
They were planning to attend a three-day programme at the Dean Rusk Center for International Legal Studies at University of Georgia beginning April 2.
But MEA, in a letter to Secretary (Justice) in the Law Ministry said the proposed programme does not seem to merit the participation of the Law Minister, the CJI and the AG.
“The MEA has not put a spanner. In fact, they were told that they could go ahead if they wish to.
