Congress spokesman Pawan Khera tweeted: “The flip side of ruthless abuse of agencies against political rivals is that even legitimate, lawful actions by agencies come under a cloud of suspicion. In the process, the corrupt are escaping hiding behind the ‘abuse’ argument and the honest ultimately pay the price.”
के निरंतर दुरुपयोग का एक बड़ा नुक़सान यह भी होता है कि जब वह एजेन्सी सही काम भी करे तब भी उसके कदम को शक की दृष्टि से देखा जाता है। ऐसे में भ्रष्ट लोग दुरुपयोग की दुहाई देकर बच निकलते हैं और जो ईमानदारी से जनता के मुद्दे उठाते हैं, वो दुरुपयोग का शिकार होते रहते हैं
