Congress has always misused CBI: Hazare

March 23, 2013 16:39

Social activist Anna Hazare today said it was wrong to presume that the CBI acts of its own volition and alleged that Congress had always 'misused' the central investigating agency.

Asked about the CBI raid on DMK leader M K Stalin's residence immediately after the party withdrew its support to the UPA government, Hazare told reporters, "Everybody knows that the CBI is under government's control. If it is brought under the Lokpal's control, it would help in curbing corruption."

Hazare alleged that Congress had always "misused" the agency, even though it has some good officers in its fold. "It is not that all people with the CBI are bad. But they are subjected to pressure as they have their jobs to protect. Congress has always misused it," he alleged.
