The Aam Aadmi Party [AAP] demands immediate suspension of Alleged Tainted CBI director Mr Ranjit Sinha
for holding secret meetings with the Prime accused in 2 G case probed by the agency.
AAP Alleges that Mr Sinha has already changed his statements thrice in an unsuccessful attempt to desperately defend his meetings with the top officials of a corporate house, which is one of the main accused in the 2G telecom spectrum scam.
[1]Mr Sinha first stated that the entries in the visitors register at his official residence, which have now come out in the public domain are fake, when that claim did not hold, he changed his stand and raked up the issue of privacy.
[2]Is meeting the accused at his official residence in cases being probed by the CBI an issue of privacy ?
[3]The third time he abruptly changed his statement was when he justified his meetings claiming that it is his right to hear all points of view.
It has now become increasingly clear that Mr Sinha has not maintained a close contact with the key accused in teh 2G scam, he was also in touch with some accused of the coal blocks allocation scam and a meat exporter involved in tax evasion running into hundreds of crores.
What is shocking is that Mr Sinha has indulged in an inappropriate behaviour in cases which are are being probed by the CBI on directions of the Supreme Court.
Though he has activated his propaganda machinery to justify his shameful acts, but the CBI director has failed to so far provide a convincing answer as to what was the need for him to meet those directly linked with those accused of having caused unprecedented acts of corruption.
An individual with such dubious credentials cannot remain the chief of the country’s main investigating agency and the government should immediately initiate steps to adopt the procedure for his suspension and probe his misconduct. (ENDS)
