Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram attacked government's silence' on CBI's 'conclusion' in the coal scam case, where it had said there was no ground to initiate criminal proceedings against former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The former Union Minister said that if the government believes that the CBI is truly independent and, in this case, has come out to an independent and bonafide conclusion exonerating Dr Singh, then why does the government not come out with a statement that it supports the conclusion of CBI. That would be the proper thing to do. Questioning the government's reluctance to take a stand on the CBI report, he noted that a court has issued summons to Manmohan Singh and others under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the CBI has not accused Singh of any offence.
Chidambaram stated that the whole world will vouch for the integrity and honesty of Singh. The CBI, after recording Singh's statement, concluded that there were no grounds to initiate criminal proceedings against him and he expressed confidence that when Singh's lawyers appear before court and explain the facts and the circumstances of the case, the court itself will 'review its decision and drop the proceedings against Singh.
