[caption id=“attachment_1828939” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  BJP chief Amit Shah. PTI[/caption] The exuberant party, BJP, as vindication of their stand that the CBI’s chargesheet against the party chief was part of the conspiracy to implicate Prime Minisier Narendra Modi demanded an apology from Congress chief Sonia Gandhi. While AAP has lambasted the CBI saying the cover-up was “glaring and could not be ignored”. Here are some of the prominent reactions to the Amit Shah case. Arun Jaitley (Finance Minister)

“Shockingly, when the legal department of the CBI opined that there was no case against Shri Amit Shah, the same was responded to by the supervisory officer of CBI, putting up a “Note” by observing that the arrest of Amit Shah would enable the CBI to get some more witnesses particularly the police officers since they would then feel intimidated. He also opined that arresting Amit Shah was necessary since it was necessary to reach the eventual target of investigation of Narendra Modi. This note was approved by the Director, CBI, Shri Ashwani Kumar,” Jaitley wrote on his Facebook. AAP The AAP, clearly not a fan of the order hit out at the CBI saying the cover-up was “glaring and could not be ignored”. “This case proves beyond any doubt that it is extremely important to free the CBI from governmental control, since the investigating agency has acted purely in a manner which the BJP government wanted it to” the party said in an official statement. Devendra Fadnavis (Chief Minister of Maharashtra)
