Left leaders meet PM on Saradha scam issue

NEW DELHI: Expressing apprehension about attempts to "throttle" the probe into the Saradha chit fund scam, Left leaders on Monday asked Narendra Modi government to hold "coordinated" investigation by central agencies and sought action against anyone involved, however highly placed he or she may be.

A five-member delegation of Left parties on Monday met the Prime Minister in Parliament and said that many names have been reportedly mentioned by those interrogated so far.

They demanded a thorough investigation "irrespective of the position of the person named."

Speaking to reporters after their meeting with Modi, the leaders maintained that the "massive" scam had affected thousands of people in several states and there are "genuine apprehensions" about involvement of the highest level in West Bengal government and ruling Trinamool Congress.

In a memorandum, they said "the arrests of some MPs and a senior state cabinet minister raises "genuine apprehensions" of the involvement of the highest level in the state government and the ruling party in the state.

"We apprehend that there may be an all-out endeavour on behalf of the beneficiaries of this massive fraud to misdirect or throttle the investigation," CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said.

He said several names have been mentioned by people arrested or detained by CBI adding that it is learnt that "various names have come up."

"We have told the Prime Minister that a thorough investigation should include everybody irrespective of the position they may be holding and proper action should be taken," Yechury said.

Others in the delegation included CPI(M) Politburo member Biman Bose, Leader of Opposition in West Bengal assembly Surjo Kanta Mishra, RSP leader Abani Roy and Forward Bloc legislator Ali Imran Ramz.
