New Delhi: Anna Hazare and his team members may have time and again slammed and questioned its integrity, but Interpol says the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was renowned in the world for its "impartiality and independence".

"The CBI has a worldwide reputation for its integrity, independence and impartiality," Interpol chief Ronald K Noble told reporters here.

The CBI has been a focussed target of opposition parties and social activist Hazare who say the agency was a mere political tool in the hands of the government and suggested that it should come under the proposed Lokpal.

Asked about his comments on the CBI, which is the official Interpol unit in India, Noble said: "India should count on the CBI for its fairness in investigation of cases of corruption."

The CBI has a worldwide reputation for its integrity, independence and impartiality? Then why did the Argentinian judge say that Indian prosecuter (read CBI) has done a very bad job in timely demanding the arrest of Quattrochi in Argentina and that it (CBI) had failed in such a simple thing as having a letter translated from Spanish to English? Every Indian knows that CBI is closer to CIA and Congress party than to the people of India!

Actually the CBI needs to improve its investigation process. In recent past there are several examples where it has not behaved like a world class investigating agency. it should be more independent and biased free

unfortunately, Mr Noble has a very wrong impression about CBI. There may be a political angle to his statement. Even otherwise we know better about our home than a foreigner. Need not any advise from him. CBI must be independent which it is not presently.
