“I know you’re up against powerful people…” PM Modi backs CBI in their crackdown on the corrupt

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on April 03 in New Delhi. During his address at the event, PM Modi said that CBI has emerged as a brand for justice. “CBI has given hope and strength to the common citizen. People hold protests to demand CBI inquiry as CBI has emerged as a brand of justice. I know that the people against whom you are taking action are very powerful, they have been part of the government system for years. Even today they are in power in some states, but you (CBI) have to focus on your work, no corrupt person should be spared,” he said.
