Jitendra aims dig at UPA regime, says Modi govt does not interfere in CBI’s affairs

[ad_1]
Jammu: Asserting that the Narendra Modi-led government does not interfere in the affairs of the CBI, Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Saturday said it was during the UPA regime the Supreme Court had pointed out that the CBI was a “parrot in a cage”.
Singh was replying to a question seeking his reaction about the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) summoning former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik in connection with an alleged insurance scam.
Singh told reporters after a BJP programme, “The CBI is an autonomous institution. Let it act on its investigation. Nobody can interfere with it.”

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government does not interfere in the CBI’s affairs, he added.
Asked for his response on Congress leader KC Venugopal’s tweet about central agencies being the BJP’s ”lapdog”, Singh said, ”He is still carrying the mentality that used to be there during the Congress’ time.”
The Union minister also said that during the UPA regime, the Supreme Court said the CBI was a parrot in a cage.
“Post 2014, the situation has changed. In Modi ji’s government, interference in the function of the CBI does not happen. They are given full independence,” Singh said.

New Delhi: Security has been up outside and around the areas near the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) headquarters in the national capital after the probe agency on Sunday arrested Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy scam matter following a day-long questioning, an official said.
According to an official, Rapid Action Force personnel have been deployed outside the CBI office to maintain the law and order situation.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police has also deployed additional force to prevent untoward incidents.
Sisodia was arrested by the CBI after eight hours of questioning.
Earlier on Sunday, Section 144 was imposed in and around the areas near the CBI headquarters to prevent gatherings.
The police had said that it was being done to stop AAP workers from moving closer to the CBI office.

CBI’s fresh summon asks Sisodia to join probe on Feb 26

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has been summoned again to join the probe in Delhi excise policy scam on February 26.
Sisodia was earlier asked to appear before the CBI on February 19, but he expressed inability join the probe and sought one week time. He told the CBI that he was busy in giving final touch to Delhi’s budget which would be sent to Centre for approval.
The CBI allowed his request and now has issued him a second notice.
Sisodia has alleged that it is BJP who is behind the scene. He alleged that he was busy in giving the final touch to Delhi budget when he was called to join the investigation.
“I am a finance minister too. I have to prepare Delhi Budget. It will be sent to Centre for the approval. BJP is using CBI to stop us in doing development. I have sought time,” Sisodia had said while requesting for more time.
Earlier on Wednesday, the CBI interrogated Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain at Tihar Jail.
The CBI interrogated Jain about AAP communication in-charge Vijay Nair and other related things.
On February 8, the CBI arrested Butchibabu Gorantla, ex-CA of BRS leader K Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.

The CBI has already filed a charge sheet in the matter. The source said that they are in process of filing a supplementary charge sheet in the matter and hence they wanted to collect more evidence to make the case watertight.
