New Delhi:
The Supreme Court is examining the CBI's nine-page affidavit that details the changes that the agency alleges were made by Law Minister Ashwani Kumar and others to its report on the coal investigation. The court today expressed concern over Centre's interference in CBI probe in coal scam and other cases.
Here are some political reactions:
BJP leader Sushma Swaraj tweets: ASG blamed Attorney General. Now Attorney General blames Law Minister. The fact is all three of them have misconducted themselves. ASG has resigned. Attorney General and Law Minister should also resign forthwith.
Congress leader Sanjay Jha: Until one reads the entire report, the observations of the Supreme Court, it will be inappropriate for me to make any official or unofficial viewpoint. But we need to look at the fact whether there were any attempt to smother the case with something wrong and inappropriate, which could have been misleading.
Social activist and former IPS officer Kiran Bedi tweets: Problem is CBI is a Parrot(as SC called it). Over d years it caged itself(for post release crumbs)& forgot it could fly!
