Congress asks CBI to speed up probe against Tamil Nadu CM

Description

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu unit of the Congress on Sunday asked the CBI to initiate steps to speed up its investigations over the corruption charges against chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami. “Even though the Madras high court had permitted CBI investigation against the chief minister, he obtained a stay from the Supreme Court. Even after two years, CBI has not taken steps to vacate the stay. If it fails to speed up the process by end of this month, the Congress will organize a protest in front of the CBI office in Chennai,” a resolution passed by the TNCC executive council on Sunday said. TNCC president K S Alagiri and Tamil Nadu incharge Dinesh Gundu Rao participated in the meeting that passed four resolutions. The party urged the Centre to withdraw the new farm laws.
