Modi shows an interest in legal matters

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's style of getting feedback is somewhat unique.
The prime minister recently invited the son of a senior Union minister to brief him on legal issues, in order to understand the conflicts over a few judgments.
A few days later Modi also invited the son of a political editor of a popular TV news channel -- who is also a young lawyer -- to discuss with him data security and privacy laws.
This has created a buzz among the legal fraternity that Modi is showing an interest in what the establishment considers to be judicial activism.
