New Delhi, August 11: It was a BJP protest against the “misuse” of CBI but senior party leaders today shied away from taking the name of Gujarat Minister Amit Shah arrested by the agency recently in connection with the Sohrabuddin encounter killing case.
Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley, BJP General Secretary Vijay Goel and Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly V K Malhotra addressed the protest outside CBI headquarters but none of them mentioned Shah.
They alleged the Congress was using the agency to destabilise the Gujarat government.
None of them also took the name of Sohrabuddin though they accused the Centre and CBI of targeting the officials and leaders for the killing of a “terrorist”.
46-year-old Shah was arrested on July 26 and chargesheeted by the CBI for his alleged involvement in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case.
