| Those with lot to hide preventing CBI from their states: Arun Jaitley | | | Agencies
New Delhi: A day after Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal withdrew 'general consent' accorded to the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI), finance minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday hit back saying fear is the primary driving factor for such moves.
Saying that the two state government's possible fear of investigations has prompted them to bar CBI. "Only those who have a lot to hide have taken the step of not letting CBI come to their state. There is no sovereignty of any state in the matter of corruption," he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. "Andhra move is not motivated by any particular case but in fear of what is likely to happen."
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday had extended her support to her counterpart Chandrababu Naidu over the issue. "What Chandrababu Naidu has done is absolutely right. The BJP is using the CBI and other agencies to pursue its own political interests and vendetta," she had said. |
