CPI today asked the government to "apologise" to the Supreme Court after its indictment over the CBI's status report on the coal scam and demanded immediate removal of Law Minister Ashwani Kumar.        

It also sought urgent steps to free the CBI from being a "political tool in the hands of a corrupt ruling party".       

In a statement, party General Secretary S Sudhakar Reddy said the government "should apologise to the Supreme Court along with resignation or sacking of the law minister and take immediate steps to make CBI an independent autonomous body, without political or bureaucratic control."
