Ramdev slams CBI for filing charges against aide

Ranchi: Yoga guru Ramdev on Tuesday slammed the CBI for filing a chargesheet against his aide Acharya Balkrishna in a fake documents case.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was a puppet in the hands of the central government and they filed the chargesheet against Balkrishna as he was associated with me, said Ramdev while talking to reporters here Tuesday.

The central government was trying its best to suppress his proposed August 9 agitation against corruption, Ramdev said.

Ramdev said the central government was trying its best to suppress his proposed August 9 agitation against corruption.

He said Lokpal should be made functional as soon as possible. The heads of four agencies, including the CBI, the Central Vigilance Commission, the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Election Commission, should be appointed impartially.

Ramdev attacked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and questioned his political and constitutional honesty.

Reacting on the Time magazine terming Manmohan Singh as an under achiever, he said this was a well-known fact.

He said we need a person as prime minister who would ensure the recovery of Rs 400 lakh crore black money.
