Not above law, ready to face CBI probe says, PM
On Board PM's Special Aircraft: Holding that he was not above the law, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today offered to face the CBI or "for that matter anybody" in the probe into allocation of coal
"Well, let me say, this matter is before the courts and I would not like to comment on it," he replied.
He was asked for his comments about the Supreme Court monitoring the probe in various scams affecting the decision-making process and adding to the government's image of being struck by "policy paralysis".
"I would not like to go into what is happening in the Supreme Court. It is the highest court of the country and I would not like to comment about the court as to what it does or does not," he responded.
To a question whether CBI cases and scams were casting a shadow on his legacy as Prime Minister, Singh shot back, "That is for history to judge. I am doing my duty and will continue to do my duty. What impact my 10 years of prime ministership will have, it is for historians to judge."
