'Govt set bad example by cancelling consent for CBI probe against DKS'

NT Correspondent

Mysuru: Taking strong objection to the state government's decision to withdraw consent for a CBI investigation against Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar in a disproportionate assets case, BJP leader and former minister C T Ravi on Friday said the government has set a bad precedent by doing so.

Addressing a media conference at the district BJP office, he termed the decision as illegal and immoral.

The state government should have allowed the CBI to investigate the case against Shivakumar, he said adding that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah took the decision as per the diktat of the party high command.
