Scrap Sanjay Kothari appointment as CVC as process is vitiated, says Congress

The Hindu  

The Congress on Wednesday demanded the appointment of Sanjay Kothari as the new Chief Vigilance Commissioner be scrapped, saying the entire process was vitiated, and asked for a fresh selection process. At a press conference at the party headquarters, senior leader Manish Tewari called the process displayed that both “procedure and propriety was completely thrown away at the level of the Prime Minister and the Home Minister”. He pulls out a paper from his pocket and chooses someone who was not even an applicant.” Mr. Tewari said the process now had not only been vitiated but described it as “illegal and unconstitutional. “We, therefore, demand that the process of appointment be scrapped in its entirety and a fresh process is undertaken.” Asked if the Congress is going to legally challenge the appointment, Mr. Tewari said the matter is serious and sensitive and “all options are open”.
