CBI Tells Standing Committee It Can Report To Lokpal But Is Against Division

New Delhi, Sep 2: The Central Investigation Agency (CBI) is willing to report to the Lokpal but strongly opposes any move to divide it as envisaged in Anna Hazare's Bill.

The Janlokpal Bill is pushing for the CBI's anti-corruption wing to be brought under the Lokpal's ambit.

CBI director A P Singh will make this appeal before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Lokpal next Wednesday.

The CBI top brass believe any attempt to divide the agency – by putting only the anti-graft wing under Lokpal – will ‘dilute’ it and make it ‘less effective’ and ‘weak’. This is because the work of all its wings are 'intertwined' and mutually dependent.
