Action in 2G probe not to dent ties with DMK: Congress
The govt insisted it does not interfere with the CBI's day-to-day working, and it's actions are not against parties or communities but against individuals.
Ahead of the crucial seat-sharing talks between DMK and Congress for the Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, Congress today said action into the 2G Spectrum scam would not affect the "political alliance" between them. "CBI works independently. Government of India does not interfere in its day to day working. The agency should be allowed to carry out its job. The investigation by CBI into the matter is not against any party but individuals. Ours is a political alliance and that will continue," party spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed told reporters here. He was reacting to questions on CBI action in the case including the arrest of former telecom minister A Raja and searches at the offices and residences of top management of DMK first family-run Kalaignar TV in connection with the scam. State party chief K V Thankgabalu has said the seat sharing talks would be held tomorrow at DMK headquarters in Chennai.
