In scathing criticism of the government's alleged interference in the CBI probe into the allocation of coal blocks, the Supreme Court today asked the  director of the investigating agency to file an affidavit stating the changes made in the draft report vetted by law minister Ashwani Kumar. The court termed as "very disturbing" the CBI's affidavit that it shared its  report with the law minister. Congress leader Janardhan Dwivedi reacted by saying the court's remarks were 'not pleasant for any dispensation'.
