Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday dismissed as "absolutely incorrect" reports of differences between Attorney General KK Venugopal and the government with regard to the sexual harassment case against the Chief Justice. The matter, however, was scrutinised by a panel of three sitting judges of the Supreme Court. "The motivated news item of differences between the Attorney General and the government is absolutely incorrect. As one of the senior most members of the Bar, he (Venugopal) certainly has his views on some issues. Venugopal, 88, whose term lasts until June 2020, had written the letter two days after allegations of sexual harassment against Gogoi surfaced.
