CBI slacking in coal scam probe: BJP

January 11, 2014 18:10

The BJP today demanded a speedy and fair probe into the coal block allocation scam, alleging that the CBI has not questioned the ministers of state in the coal ministry and officials in the PMO about their alleged role in the affair.

"The CBI inquiry into the coal scam is not progressing as rapidly as expected. The probe is not being carried out in the manner and at the speed at which it should be by CBI. Moreover, the officials concerned in the PMO and coal ministry are not being questioned about their role in the scam," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
