Amarinder condemns CBI raids at Virbhadra's premises

Senior Congress leader Amarinder Singh today strongly condemned the CBI raids on the residences of the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on the day of his daughter's wedding, saying that it was a shameful and scornful act done at the behest of political rivals.
In a statement issued here today, Amarinder said, "It only betrayed the extreme extent of vindictiveness and political vendetta indulged in by the current NDA regime against its political opponents."
"Heavens would not have fallen had the CBI waited for a few days if at all it really needed to conduct raids on various premises and places related to Vibhadra Singh as it was the day of his daughter's marriage," the former Punjab Chief Minister said.

He added that it was a shameful and scornful act done at the behest of the political rivals of the HP CM.
"Legal and political battles should better be fought legally and politically, and not with a feeling of vendetta and vengeance to the extent of trying to disrupt as important a function as the wedding of one's daughter that even your sworn enemies will not do," Amarinder said, adding that "the very timing of the raids and the way these were carried out only revealed the disgusting and scornful intent of those who ordered these".
