India (Commonwealth Union)_ The Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) Diamond Jubilee Celebrations were officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 3 at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. Additionally, the Commemorative Coin and Postage Stamp celebrating 60 years of CBI’s founding were also unveiled by the Prime Minister. According to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there is no dearth of political will to combat corruption in the nation under the current administration. The Central Bureau of Investigation was founded on 1 April 1963 by a decree of the Ministry of Home Affairs of India.
During the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) Diamond Jubilee Celebrations in New Delhi, the Prime Minister stated that, after 2014, the government’s primary duty was to build trust in the system, and as a result, action was taken against anonymous property and black money in mission mode. He also noted that before 2014, immoral behaviors had destroyed the foundation of our economy and financial system. Mr. Modi stated that the current administration has worked tirelessly over the years to rescue our banking system. The Prime Minister also stated that the current administration is also taking action against black money hoarders and the core causes of corruption.
The Prime Minister stated that the government has maintained the highest level of transparency in the systems and procedures governing the distribution of 2G and 5G spectrum, which is evidence of this. Mr. Modi stated that there had been periods of doubt and policy stagnation in the country, but that since 2014, the government’s major objective has been to restore, develop, and build the people’s faith in the system. The Prime Minister lauded the CBI’s contribution, stating that with its functioning, efficiency, and competence, the CBI has instilled a profound feeling of trust in the people. He stated that the CBI has achieved distinction as a “Multidimensional” and “Multidisciplinary” investigating organization during the past six decades.
While addressing the event, PM Modi said, “India cannot move forward without professional and efficient institutions like the CBI. From bank frauds to wildlife-related frauds, the CBI’s scope of work has increased manifold, but the main responsibility of the CBI is to make the nation corruption free. Where there is corruption, the youth do not get proper opportunities. Only a special ecosystem flourishes there. Corruption is the biggest enemy of talent, and it is from here that nepotism and ‘parivarvad’ get strengthened”. He added, “The CBI’s scope of work today has widened to a greater scale; from metrocities to forests, from banks to wildlife protection, the CBI has been investigating almost each and every aspect. Also, even cybercrimes are being dealt with by this agency”. He further added, “I know that the people against whom you are taking action are very powerful, they have been part of the government and system for years. Even today they are in power in some states, but you (CBI) have to focus on your work, no corrupt person should be spared”.
In recognition of their excellent service, the Prime Minister presented the President’s Police Medal to 18 CBI officers on this occasion. He also honored three cops with the Gold Medal for Best Investigative Officers. Moreover, the Prime Minister opened the freshly built CBI office buildings in Shillong, Pune, and Nagpur. He also unveiled a commemorative postal stamp and coin to celebrate the CBI’s Diamond Jubilee year. On this special occasion, PM Modi also opened the CBI’s Twitter account. The other attendees of the ceremony were National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, Union Minister Jitendra Singh, and senior CBI officers.
