New Delhi : Accusing CBI of acting as the government’s “puppet” by “planting false news” related to the VVIP chopper scam, Congress attacked the Modi dispensation saying it would not succeed in covering up the demonetisation “mess” through a “captive” CBI and should instead answer questions in Parliament, reports PTI.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) should also own up the “malicious news plants” and the media should not fall prey to such tactics, Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said following reports that former IAF chief S P Tyagi, arrested in connection with the VVIP chopper scam, had blamed the office of the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
“A captive CBI wouldn’t succeed in covering up Modiji’s disastrous demonetisation mess. Time for the Modi government to answer questions in Parliament,” he said.
Surjewala also tweeted, “Instead of acting as ‘His Master’s Vendatta Machine’, CBI’s unappointed Chief & Co. should have the courage to own up malicious news plants (sic).”
