The
Polit
Bureau
of
the
Communist
Party
of
India
(Marxist)
has
issued
the
following
statement:
On
CBI
Stand
in
Advani
case
The
Polit
Bureau
of
the
CPI(M)
strongly
objects
to
the
decision
of
the
CBI
not
to
file
a
revision
petition
in
the
High
Court
challenging
the
discharge
of
L.K.
Advani
in
the
Babri
Masjid
demolition
case.
The
CBI
by
this
act
has
damaged
its
credibility
and
will
be
seen
as
acting
as
an
instrument
to
serve
the
interests
of
the
ruling
party
and
the
Union
Home
Minister.
First
of
all
the
CBI
had
no
business
to
drop
the
conspiracy
charge
in
the
revised
chargesheet
filed
before
the
Rae
Bareli
court.
Now
with
its
decision
not
to
appeal
the
judgement
exonerating
Advani,
the
CBI
has
failed
in
its
elementary
duty
in
acting
as
the
prosecuting
agency
in
the
demolition
case.
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands that the CBI reconsider its stand and pursue the case against L.K. Advani.
