New Delhi, Sept 26: Congress today asked the Prime
Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to order the CBI to file a
review of the verdict of the Rae Bareli court in the Babri
Masjid demolition case discharging Deputy Prime Minister L K
Advani "to secure ends of justice".
"CBI must keep itself above controversy and be seen
independent.....And is expected to function according to law.
It cannot work on whims or fancy. It should not only file a
revision against the order of discharge of Advani but argue it
diligently and forcefully", senior party leader P R Dasmunsi
told Vajpayee in a letter.
Releasing it at the AICC briefing, he contended that
CBI's "departure" in the Rae Bareli court from its earlier
submissions before the Lucknow court were "nothing but
designed to protect your deputy prime minister with an
intention to give him clear passage through the diluted
chargesheet".
Dasmunsi singled out the CBI for criticism saying the
prime investigating and prosecuting agency should have placed
all documents and material before the court on the "heinous
crime" committed on Dec six, 1992.
