Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Friday scoffed at Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s claim of having been under ”pressure” from the CBI at the behest of the erstwhile Congress-led UPA government at the Centre. The RJD leader said he was unaware of Shah’s comment but wondered whether it was an inadvertent admittance that central agencies were being ”pressurised” under the Narendra Modi government. Yadav was asked about Shah’s claim of pressure to ”frame” Narendra Modi, the then chief minister of Gujarat, in an alleged fake encounter case. ”I am unaware of the remarks and cannot say whether his claim has any truth in it. But, he has used the word pressure. So, by implication, does it not mean he admits to the central agencies being pressurised and not being allowed to function in a fair and impartial manner?” he asked. Shah had made the claim at an event in Delhi on Wednesday.
