Law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said Supreme Court has made it clear Rajeev Kumar will have to appear in court, not in Kolkata, but in Shillong. "Some people are calling it a victory. What can we say. Question is why was Rajiv Kumar not coming forward in 3 years?"

"Thousands of crores of poor people lost in Saradha, Narada and Rose Valley scams. Shouldn't there be a probe? Opposition parties standing with Mamata Banerjee haven't said anything in this regard. Contempt notice has been sent to top officials of Bengal government. Lets not politicise the issue, today is the moral victory of the CBI," he said.
