Rajnath flays appointment of ex-CBI chief as Nagaland Guv

BJP today alleged the appointment of former CBI Director Ashwani Kumar as Governor of Nagaland has "destroyed" all traditions of a healthy democracy.

"They have tried to politicize the investigative agencies to a large extent. Never before has a former CBI Director been appointed a Governor of a state. But the Congress government has appointed a former CBI Director as Governor of Nagaland. They have destroyed all traditions of a healthy democracy," said BJP President Rajnath Singh.

"We are not questioning anybody's competence as an officer but breaking healthy traditions is harmful for a democracy," Singh told reporters here.
