Left Front MPs will meet the Prime Minister and raise the Saradha ponzi scam issue in the Parliament demanding a CBI probe during the ongoing session.
"We are going to meet the Prime Minister and demand a CBI probe in the Parliament on Tuesday," CPI(M) MP Basudeb Acharya said on the sidelines of the All India Reserve Bank of India Association convention.
Already Assam and Odisha have demanded a CBI probe in the issue and Tripura is all set to write to the PM demanding CBI's intervention in the Saradha scam, he said.
Acharya said when so many states were demanding CBI investigation due to the importance of the matter, it was now clear that the state police alone was not capable to carry out an impartial probe into the matter.
Left Front MPs had recently staged a dharna outside the Parliament seeking a CBI investigation in the multi-crore ponzi scam.
