Opposition supports High Court's directive for CBI probe against Bihar Govt | A day after creating ruckus in the Bihar State Assembly, Opposition leaders in Patna reiterated High Court's ruling asking the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe into the alleged treasury scam case involving Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief and former Railway
Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav said: "Nitish Kumar has no other way to rescue himself
from the fear of CBI. Now he wants that I should speak up. If they (the government)
pass a regulation will High Court and Supreme Court take back its decision?."
Lok Jansahakti Party (LJP) President Ram Vilas Paswan, however, said that floor
management of the House was weak and in such situations House could have been
adjourned. "This has been established and High court had given a judgment that
CBI will investigate the case. He can do whatever he wants to do. If they want
clash between judiciary and the lawmakers, it's their wish," said Paswan. He blamed
the Nitish Kumar-led Govt. for poor floor management that led to recent chaos
in State Assembly. He said: "Whatever happened over the past two days had been
due to the ruling party and it has led to the embarrassment of Bihar State." On
Tuesday, there was chaos in the State assembly when legislators of the Janata
Dal (United) and the opposition, Rashtriya Janata Dal exchanged blows in the state
legislature during which several members were injured. On Wednesday, opposition
legislators sat inside the assembly premises to stage a protest against the ruling
party. The uproar in the state assembly was sparked off by a demonstration in
the wake of a directive of High Court in Patna ordering a probe by CBI, into Nitish
Kumar's role in the alleged irregularities of the State Treasury during his regime. |
