'No dearth of political will to tackle corruption, no corrupts should be spared': PM Modi tells CBI

New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that there is no dearth of political will to take action against corruption in the country and urged the central investigative agencies to keep working towards the same fearlessly.

Speaking on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), PM Modi asked officers to act without any hesitation against the corrupt.

“Corruption is not an ordinary crime, it snatches the rights of the poor, it begets many other crimes, corruption is the biggest obstacle in the path of justice and democracy," the prime minister said.

“Today there is no dearth of political will to take action against corruption in the country. No corrupt person should be spared," he said.

PM Modi asked the CBI officers not to be deterred by the "ecosystem created by them (opposition) to tarnish the image of investigative agencies."

"There should be no laxity in our efforts. This is the wish of the country, this is the wish of the countrymen. The country, law and constitution are with you,” he said.

The Prime Minister stressed the need to eliminate silos between different agencies for better results.

He reiterated that joint and multidisciplinary investigation will be possible only in an environment of mutual trust.

PM Modi warned that attacks on India’s social fabric, its unity and brotherhood, its economic interests and its institutions will also increase.

“Corruption money will be spent on this," he said as he stressed the need to understand and study the multinational nature of crime and corruption.

Stressing the need to further expand the use of forensic science in investigations, the Prime  Minister noted that even though crimes are becoming global due to modern technology, it is also the solution.

He also recalled the corruption in recruitment in the name of interviews. "That is why interviews were abolished in Group C and Group D services at the centre," PM Modi said slamming the previous Congress government at the Centre.
