New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will make himself available to CBI in the Coalgate investigation if a formal request is made, Union Minister Kamal Nath said Sunday.
"Why not? CBI under law can question anybody and the PM is within the law. So if CBI wants to question him, the PM is a part of the law," he told a news channel.
He was asked if the Prime Minister will make himself available if there is a formal request.
Nath said the PM has nothing to hide on the issue even though he held the Coal Ministry portfolio for a short period.
"If there is something to be asked from him, he has nothing to hide," he said, adding his "credentials will remain untouched".
