Press Statement



The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued
the following statement:


The decision of the Central Government to withdraw the case against
Ottavio Quattrocchi who was facing prosecution in the Bofors bribery
case comes in the wake of prolonged efforts to scuttle the case.


At every stage, successive governments headed by the Congress have
resorted to various devices to derail the case and protect Quattrocchi.
The CBI was prevented from pursuing the case seriously.


With this latest act, the cover up of the Bofors bribery case is now
complete.
