Govt using CBI as a 'private militia': BJP
New Delhi: Alleging that the government is misusing CBI as a “private militia”, BJP today said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's assurance that his dispensation will take all steps to ensure the agency's legitimacy are “strange
It said the country is aware of the “casual approach” of the government towards CBI.
BJP noted that at a time when the government is “mired” in corruption cases and when CBI is probing the coal blocks allocation scam, the PM today cautioned CBI not to get into issues of policy-making.
“The Prime Minister said today that policy-making is complex and that it would not be appropriate for a police agency to sit in judgement over policy formulation without evidence of malafide,” Lekhi said.
