Make CBI enforcement agency: Parliament panel
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: A parliamentary committee has recommended that the Central Bureau of Investigation be envisaged as an enforcement agency and given the mandate to ensure prevention of crimes, apart from investigation and prosecution.
The Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice recommended that a separate “anti-terrorism division” be created in the CBI.
It said vesting the agency with appropriate statutory backing to take suo motu cognisance of crimes would in no way affect the country’s federal structure.
“It is felt that a proactive and holistic approach is required to deal with threats thrown up by linkages between organised crimes and terrorists to the national security, and localised and piecemeal battles against such crimes cannot be a success,” the 26-member panel, headed by E.M. Sudarsana Natchiappan, observed in its 24th report presented to Parliament on Tuesday. The CBI should be given powers to recruit officers at various levels to meet manpower shortage rather than depending on the Union Public Service Commission. Also, there should be less dependence on deputation from other forces.
