"CBI and other intelligence agencies of the country appear keen on destroying each other rather than creating a synergy between themselves for the protection of the country", said former Intelligence Bureau Director Ajit Doval today.
Speaking at a discussion here, he said security agencies of the country must perform their duties to protect the country from the external and internal threats rather than help the political bosses.
The discussion was attended by former officers of the intelligence agencies and armed forces.
Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani accused the UPA government of creating a rift betweem security agencies to serve its political gains, which "is in turn benefiting Pakistan-backed terror groups".
"Congress-led UPA government is using a vocal press, a few NGOs and corrupt officials to create a sense of fear amongst the minorities and using the security agency reports to fuel that fear for their political gains," he charged.
