"It is up to the director to cope with the pressure and if he is a man of character, he can ." Practically? we want to know HOW MANY COULD HIS SPINE ERECT? ALL EYEWASH!
An investigation by the CBI under the supervision of Supreme court has more teeth in sensitive cases which suits the Central Govt,as well as the CBI to carry out the investigation without fear.Lalu Prasd Yadav would not have been in jail had it not been monitored by the SC court.
WELL SAID Dr Raghavan about FALLING STANDARD OF CREDIBILITY OF CBI IS UNDERSTANDABLE. RIGHTLY HE OBSERVES THAT NOW HIGH PROFILE CASES ARE THERE NECESSITATING "AUTONOMY" WHICH SUCCESSIVE GOVTS HAVE CONVENIENTLY AVOIDED TO ALLEGEDLY PUNISH GUILTY BIGWIGS?
All the bureaucrats, IAS, IPS, IFS etc. wants Rehabilitation after retirement, that they can get only if they behave Puppets of their political Masters. CBI Director comes under severe Pressure from corrupt BOSSes to fulfill their political whims.
The deterioration in political etheics and fall in moral levels of Rulers , causing more problems for CBI to function, when CBI was about to investigate Coalgate minister (PM), we found the adverse remark from PM and FM , and further a similar verdict came from Assam High Court, making CBI a vague organisation having no sanction of Law under any act. Is it a coincidence or well calculated move , only insiders know , but what is required , is to make a CBI , a statuatory body , Govt should act and make CBI an independent investigating agency which can act independently in the interest of Country.
