'Independent' CBI should raid Prime Minister's Office: Kejriwal on Rafale report

New Delhi, Feb 8(PTI): An "independent" CBI should raid the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), seize files and make arrests in connection with the Rafale fighter jet deal, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said Friday.

His party colleague and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said he will file a case against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in light of the new "expose" on Rafale deal.

"In the light of today's expose on Rafale, 'independent' CBI should raid PMO, seize all the files related to Rafale and make arrests just like they raided my office and residence and Kolkata police commissioner(sic)," Kejriwal tweeted.

The AAP's attack came after a report was published by The Hindu newspaper on Friday which claimed the Defence Ministry raised strong objections to "parallel discussions" conducted by the PMO during the negotiations over the Rs 59,000 crore Rafale deal between India and France.

Singh maintained that his party was the first to flag Rafale deal "scam" as he cited a letter written by him to the Chief Vigilance Commissioner(CVC), the Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) and the CAG last year.

"The truth that has come to the fore now has exposed real the face of Modi. We have been saying from day first that there is a scam of Rs 36,000 crore," Singh alleged at a press conference. Singh said he will file a complaint at the North Avenue police station against Modi in connection with the emerging "facts" in the matter.

"If police does not register a case, we will approach the court," he said.

Singh was one of the petitioners before the Supreme Court, seeking a probe in the alleged "scam" in the Rafale deal.

AAP's Rajya Sabha MP ND Gupta demanded seizure of all documents quoted by The Hindu newspaper by the CBI so that no "tampering" is done to "dilute the seriousness" of the matter. Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that the PMO was directly involved in negotiations with the French on the Rafale deal and the prime minister was guilty in the "scam". The Rafale deal issue rocked the Lok Sabha as well, with Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman dismissing the media report as "flogging a dead horse" and slamming the opposition for playing into the hands of vested interests.

    If Modi had ordered JPC into the rafale deal, Modi could have cleared his name and restored his moral authority. By remaining in denial, he is only confirming the fears that Chowkidar Chor Hai.

    By dismissing the CBI Director, he is only delaying the inevitable of a CBI probe.

    It really couldn’t get any worse for the Central Bureau of Investigations. The Opposition says the ‘caged parrot’ has become an instrument of political oppression, the media calls it an organization which is at war with itself and now, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has declared that CBI has been indulging in ‘Investigative Adventurism.’
    The new director Rishi Kumar Shukla, with no experience in CBI, appointed Director Barely 3 days after he was shifted out as Director General of Police, MP bypassing officers who have worked in the CBI earlier.
    We saw the partisan behavior of agencies just before the Karnataka elections when the CBI let the Reddy brothers off the hook in what was described as an open and shut case of illegal iron ore exports by the state Lokpal. Later, one also witnessed the multiple raids at the premises of Karnataka Congress leader Shivakumar.
    More recently, after Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav sealed their 2019 electoral alliance, a fresh case was filed against Akhilesh in a 12-year-old sand mining case. Similarly Chandrababu Naidu was at the receiving end when some old case of disturbing peace and order was reopened after he severed ties with the BJP. Even Mayawati recently came under the scrutiny of the ED.
    All these leaders have expressed solidarity with Mamata Banerjee. Mamata’s dharna provoked even Naveen Patnaik’s BJD, which said the CBI was also used against their party. No wonder the opposition claims it is uniting against the alliance of the BJP, CBI, ED and IT department!
    Modiji government has diluted every government institutions by delibrately appointing RSS man to control.
    When Chowkidar on duty can allow looting Indian's public sector banks by his crony capitalist, Mr. Kejriwala CBI will never disobey their RSS masters.
