'Why no action against Advani?'
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> Flying in the face of its claim that it doesnât interfere with the CBI, the UPA Government sent a letter directly to then agency director U S Mishra questioning him why and how no appeal was filed against BJP leader L K Advaniâs discharge in the case related to inflammatory speeches leading to the Babri Masjid demolition. The note asked the director to even report âinternal deliberationsâ in the agency and explain its âinternal mechanism.â<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The first was on December 8, 2004, when Pulok Chatterjee, Joint Secretary in the Prime Ministerâs Office, wrote to Secretary, Personnel, raising the same questions. This sparked off a political storm in Parliament prompting Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee to deny any attempt to armtwist the CBI in the Ayodhya case.
But despite this assurance, on August 12, 2005, a second letter was sent from the Department of Personnel, this time addressed directly to Mishra.
Express has accessed official records which show that the UPAâs second confidential letter (S-22/AS(S&V)/2005) was written by B K Das, an Additional Secretary in the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT). It raps the CBI for making âno comments on specific pointsâ (points raised in the PMOâs controversial letter). <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
