Ø After getting the opinion from
Attorney-General Mukul Rohatgi the Central Bureau of Investigation quizzed West Bengal Governor M. K. Narayanan as a “witness” in connection with
the agency’s ongoing probe into allegations of bribery in the VVIP chopper deal with Anglo-Italian company AgustaWestland.
The UPA government had earlier denied the CBI permission to question Mr.
Narayanan and Goa Governor B.V. Wanchoo, citing constitutional immunity they
enjoy as serving Governors. The former Solicitor-General Mohan Parasaran, had
warned the agency against going ahead with its plans to question the two
serving Governors. However, Mr. Rohatgi, reversed this decision, saying
constitutional immunity of Governors is no bar to questioning them as
witnesses.
