| Patna, June 12: Charging the government with using the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to work for its political ends, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari today demanded a parliamentary probe into the "misuse" of what he termed the "Congress Bureau of Intimidation".
"While the nation is facing innumerable threats to its internal security, government is forcing the CBI to work for its political designs. The CBI has become a tool of intimidation," Gadkari said in his inaugural address at the BJP's two-day national meet here.
Gadkari also referred to the remarks of former CBI joint director B.R. Lall about having received a letter which said the extradition of former Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson should not be pursued in the wake of the Bhopal gas leak case.
"The latest revelation by an officer in the context of the Bhopal tragedy has reinforced our fear that the Congress is continuing this strategy to cow down opponents or to let free from our law their acquaintances - (Italian businessman Ottavio) Quattrochhi and Anderson," Gadkari said.
"This proves that their commitment is not for the people of India. We in the BJP strongly demand a JPC (joint parliamentary committee) probe into the misuse of the CBI," he said.
Warren Anderson, the CEO of Union Carbide Corp in 1984, left the country within days of Bhopal gas tragedy that killed thousands of people. (IANS) |
