INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
formed as a special police force in 1941
sorts, the CBI has registered a first information report against Asthana for allegedly accepting a Rs 3-crore bribe to settle a case against
meat exporter Moin Quereshi
On his part, Asthana has levelled bribery allegations in more than a dozen cases against his boss.
The ugly fight within the CBI has already
become a political potboiler, with Opposition parties pointing fingers at PM Modi for institutional decay
disappointed, the PMO has summoned both Asthana and Verma seeking explanations over the recent developments.
The all-out war within the CBI
is sure to be dominate the state elections, which are due next month
In an organisation, it can be two things- an HR issue or a criminal issue when it comes to taking bribes
Both officers are mature enough; the system has not fallen
PMO had to take cognizance after this.
PRASHANT BHUSHANPUBLIC INTEREST LAWYERIt is a serious crisis squarely brought on by the government
He(Asthana) was pushed through despite the director pointing out that they are investigating a case against him
He seems to be very close to PM Modi and Amit Shah
CBI is today used for political purposes against political opponents
CBI should not be under the administrative control of the government
If there had been Lokpal, it could have investigated the issue
It is debatable whether permission is required for the FIR.
SHANTONU SENFORMER JOINT DIRECTOR, CBIThe CBI was a respected organisation, even
Today, CBI is a corrupt parrot
Get rid of both of them, CBI will recover
The CBI went through a bad time in the 1980s, then a new director came and the image was restored
The government should sack these two officers and tell the CVC to investigate
The CBI functions as a team
It needs to be restored by sacking these two officers
The appointment of Asthana was a big mistake
He is a controversial person
Today, the government has to face an account for the mistake
We have heard of very wrong persons appointed at the CBI
Some of these directors have behaved in a very unethical manner
You got to act.
SULAIMAN KHANSPOKESPERSON, AICCTo say the Congress is politicising the issue is uncalled for
Is this not a proper issue that the Congress should raiseRs CBI is a premier investigating agency, but I think a lot has to be explained by
We have seen for the past four and half years how constitutional bodies have demeaned
Same is happening with CBI
FIR is a serious issue, which has been registered against Asthana
Why is the prime minister meeting a prime accusedRs
