After the Supreme Court reinstated CBI chief Alok Verma today, the Congress attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he was responsible for destroying the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).<\/p>\n

Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted, \u201cModi adds another first to the list\u2026 After having ruined the CVC’s (Central Vigilance Commission) credibility (requiring supervision by former SC judge), Modi has now become first Prime Minister to have his illegal orders set aside by the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n

Surejwala reminded the Prime Minister that government comes and goes but the honour of the institutions survive. He said he hoped that the judgement would be a “lesson” to the Prime Minister about the strength of country’s democracy and the Constitution.<\/p>\n

He also linked the government’s “illegal decision” on the issue with the Rafale fighter jet deal and the state of affairs in the Reserve Bank of India as well as in the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

“Another big question for Modiji. After making #CBI Chief suffer the consequences of your illegal decision for 3 months, will you show the courage to return three months of lost tenure? Unless you are afraid of investigation into #RafaleScam!”<\/p>\n

The CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury reacted by saying that Verma’s reinstatement by the Supreme Court was a “direct indictment” of Modi and his office. “Will he take responsibility for this blatantly illegal act? If he has any moral conscience he should quit. Accountability, anyone or is it just #jumlas?” Yechury asked on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
