West Bengal Transport Minister Madan Mitra, who had been summoned by CBI for questioning over the Saradha scam but could not face it due to illness, on Saturday said he was now fit and ready to face the grilling.
“Now I am keeping well, though I need rest for some time more. Whatever it is, I am fit. I shall go to CBI whenever it calls me for questioning,” Mitra said during an interview to a local TV Channel.
The Trinamool Congress leader admitted that he was suffering from tension to face the questioning.
“I can’t deny that I am having tension to face questioning by CBI. This is because I need some sort of preparation to reply to them properly to help them unravel the truth,” Mitra said. “CBI is an important probe agency in India and known all over the world. let it ask me. I shall try to reply them properly to help the agency,” Mitra said.
Mitra, who had been also served summons by CBI regarding the questioning in Saradha Scam, was admitted to State-run SSKM hospital in the last week of November after a brief stay at the private clinic in the city complaining of breathlessness.
