BJP, Left doubt PM will appear before CBI

"Not only in the case of coal block allocation to Hindalco, we want an examination into all the allocations when the prime minister headed the coal ministry," he said.

Answering questions from mediapersons on his way back from his Russia and China visits, the prime minister said: "I am not above the law of the land. If there is anything that the CBI or, for that matter, anybody wants to ask, I have nothing to hide."

The Communist Party of India too doubted the prime minister's remark.
