Expelled BJP MP and noted jurist Ram Jethmalani today targeted Union Minister Arun Jaitley over his 'tyranny of unelected' remark in the Supreme Court, which promptly dissociated itself from taking the matter any further.

"There is an attack on the dignity of this court when comments like 'tyranny of unelected' were made upon the judgement of the apex court," Jethmalani said before a five- judge Constitution bench headed by Justice J S Khehar dealing with the collegium issue.

However, the bench interrupted him and asked him not to make statements of political nature.
