"CBI Biased": Karnataka Withdraws General Consent To CBI | Read
Karnataka on Friday withdrew open consent to the Central Bureau of Investigation to conduct inquiries within its territory. Law Minister HK Patil said the state wished to flag "biased" actions of CBI - which the opposition claims is ordered by the Bharatiya Janata Party to target its leaders, particularly before elections - and ruled out any link to land scam allegations facing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
"We are withdrawing open consent for CBI investigation in the state. We are expressing our concerns about the misuse of the agency. They are biased... that is why are taking this decision."
