Loya’s death drama continues to assume greater importance. Opposition lawmakers called on President Ram Nath Kovind demanding an independent inquiry into the death of CBI judge B H Loya by a Supreme Court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT). A delegation of 15 political parties that included Congress President Rahul Gandhi submitted a memorandum to President Kovind and signed by 114 Opposition MPs requesting him to uphold the majesty of law by intervening in the matter. It is felt that a sense of discomfort has been created as Judge Loya and two of his confidants died under suspicious circumstances. This is cannon fodder for the opposition to pounce on NDA in parliament. When they fail to get any response, now they form a beeline to the President to make a thorough inquiry. Congress is trying hard to disturb the unity of the country and trying its best to win back the power from BJP through various methods but so far failed to achieve their aim and failed miserably. Now Congress is desperate to make a last minute ditch before the Karnataka elections.
