EGoM report on CBI unacceptable: Rajiv Pratap Rudy

PATNA: BJP today said the EGoM's submission to the Supreme Court on CBI autonomy was not acceptable to it as they wanted functional freedom for the central investigating agency.

The EGOMs-approved report including the rider that investigation of cases by CBI would be monitored by retired judges of superior courts is 'unacceptable', BJP national general secretary Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters here.

"The report clearly suggests that the Centre wants to remote-control CBI to ensure survival of UPA government by arm twisting its allies to support it," he said.

"BJP would not like the agency to become Congress Bureau of Investigation," he added.
