Why is the government saying that the Law Minister can influence the CBI? Didn't the same government during the Lokpal debate say that the CBI is completely independent and does not depend on the whims and fancies of the government?
Coalgate: UPA II has lost all sense of propriety
How long will people like Salman Khurshid and Soli Sorabjee wait to indict the Law Minister as well as the Prime Minister. This shows that people like Salman Khurshid have no sense of propriety and are hanging on to power.

Justice JS Verma's stint as the NHRC Chairman laid the foundations for the later rulings of the Supreme Court on the Gujarat riots. It also set a precedent for the way investigative cases were to be dealt in future.
Gujarat CM will be calling the shots in the Lokayukta
