JD-U slams govt on Quattrocchi case

Slamming the Government for its decision to withdraw the case against Italian usinessman Ottavio Quattrocchi in the Bofors pay-off case, JD(U) today said whenever Congress has been in power, it has tried to weaken the issue.

"CBI is used as a political tool by the Congress government and therefore whenever it comes to power, the Bofors pay-off case gets weakened," senior JD(U) leader and spokesperson Arun Srivastav said.

He said the decision, therefore, did not come as a surprise.
