The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement on December 15. THE CBI raid on the office of the chief minister of Delhi is highly condemnable and smacks of a politically motivated act. It is unprecedented that in the name of investigating the accusations against a bureaucrat, the office of the chief minister should be sealed and files searched, as alleged by the chief minister. In any case, if indeed the CBI was targeting a bureaucrat whose office was on the same floor as the CM’s, as claimed by the CBI, why was the chief minister not consulted? This raid is a new low in the Modi government’s encroachment on the rights and dignity of non-BJP elected governments.
