law minister kiren rijiju said cbi no parrot of cage after cji remark

New Delhi : Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said the CBI is no longer a "cage parrot" which works at the behest of someone. He said that now the biggest criminal investigation agency fulfills its duty. "There was a time when people used to say that the ruling party uses CBI. “There was a problem because of some officers but now they are not officers.

In a tweet on Sunday, Kiren Rijiju said, CBI is no longer a parrot in a cage. It discharges its duties as India's largest investigative agency. He also shared the video of the first conference of CBI officials. He said, the Prime Minister who is today, he himself is playing a big role in eradicating corruption.

Let us tell you that in the DP Kohli Memorial Lecture on 1 April, Chief Justice AV Ramana had said that some questions have been raised on the credibility of CBI. In some cases, with the passage of time, the action or inaction of the CBI has come under question. He had also said that an independent body should be created to bring all the investigating agencies under one roof.

Rijiju said, I remember that once every person in power used to create problems in the investigation. When there was corruption in power, people were very upset. It became difficult even for the CBI to conduct an independent investigation. However, it has been a long time since that time.
