Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate corruption cases without any fear or favour in a speedy manner.After inaugurating the CBI headquarters in the national capital, Dr. Singh asserted that the central agency should bring guilty to book irrespective of their positions. "CBI should act without fear or favour and bring all those to books who are guilty irrespective of their positions. Whoever transgresses the law of the land, however mighty, has to be brought to book," Dr Singh said. Prime Minister said the handling of high profile cases constitutes a litmus test for CBI officers.Dr Singh said that the CBI investigation should be without vendetta, witch hunt and harassment of innocent.
"Our government is committed to provide manpower, finances and technology that this premier investigating agency requires," he said.Appreciating the CBI, Prime Minister said that the Central agency has set benchmark for other investigating agencies in the country to emulate but there is room for improvement.
The Prime Minister said the government has decided to establish 71 additional special courts for CBI of which 64 have been sanctioned but only 16 are operational.
Dr Singh said over the years the CBI has evolved as the premier investigating agency of the country and there is a loud clamour for investigations to be handed over to the CBI.
He described the Rs 186 crore impressive structure as a state-of-the-art and green building. "I am sure that this new building will provide all of you a congenial and comfortable habitat," he said.
