New Delhi: The government on Thursday refused to comment on reports that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's name had cropped up during the CBI's interrogation of former state minister Amit Shah in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.
"The issue is distressing for any democracy, thus one should be extra cautious about what one does or says. It should be seen that we don't overstep the law of the land. Supervision of Supreme Court is the highest -- as public figures we cannot comment in such cases," Union Minister Salman Khurshid told reporters outside Parliament.
Khurshid was reacting to a question on Modi's name reportedly cropping up during former junior Home minister Amit Shah's interrogation. The investigating agency has so far arrested Shah, IPS officer Abhay Chudasama and owners of Arham farm Rajendra Jirawala in the case.
