"How can a state government order inquiry into the matter (Narada sting) when it is sub-judice ? It is completely illegal. The state is holding this inquiry to hush up the case and save the real culprits," CPI(M) leader Sujan Chakraborty alleged.
"This inquiry is actually being done to cover-up the case and remove evidences. If the state is so honest about this inquiry why didn't it order an inquiry when the matter first came up ?" he asked.
Leader of Opposition and senior Congress leader Abdul Mannan accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of trying to fool the people by forming the inquiry committee.
"Earlier, in the case of Saradha scam we had seen that she had formed a SIT on similar lines to save the culprits, who were later arrested by CBI. In Narada case too the Chief Minister is doing the same. But she can't fool the masses all the time," Mannan said.
The TMC leadership has welcomed the state's decision and said it wants the truth to come out.
