Especially, when the information directly affects the functioning of our democracy! What Naveen Chawla did was not right period. And, instead of bringing petty politics into it, let the constitutional process take its own course. Third, the government in this case does not have any locus standi to decide on whether or not Naveen Chawla should go. This is upto the President to decide.
