"The CBI's primary responsibility is to get rid of corruption. We do not lack political will in fighting corruption," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) not to spare in fighting corruption.
"The country is with you," PM Modi told CBI officers in Delhi during the central agency's diamond jubilee celebration today.
PM Modi's comments come amid allegations by opposition parties including the Congress that the centre has been misusing its agencies to harass BJP's rivals.
"The CBI's primary responsibility is to get rid of corruption. We do not lack political will in fighting corruption. Some of the accused are powerful people and they target investigating agencies to distract them," said PM Modi. "But you have to focus on your work. The country is with you," he said.
