Chapter 436: Power Reaches Its Peak
In public, respecting women and improving their status are what politicians have to talk about. This is politically correct.
Of course, in real life, it is impossible to respect women.
In any case, Nirmala's identity as a woman gave her a superior political status than men.
This also made Nirmala somewhat arrogant and domineering, and extremely strong in character, much stronger than many male politicians.
If her orders are not carried out well, the people who are doing the work below will be in trouble.
If someone displeases her, she will keep staring at them and take revenge on them in various ways. In the end, the person she is targeting will either die or be skinned alive.
When she was the spokesperson for the BJP, she criticized and scolded the ruling Congress Party in various ways, and even directly targeted some of the party's senior officials.
Even the then Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, was embarrassed by it.
This is a difficult woman.
Office of the Director of Law Enforcement.
Bowede picked up the morning newspaper that his men had placed on his desk.
Reading the newspaper and catching up on the news is the first thing he does when he comes to the office every morning.
He picked up the newspaper and shook it, and it made a rustling sound.
Bowede quickly scanned the news above.
Most of the news is junk, with little nutritional value and not worth paying attention to. You just glance at the title and forget about it.
Only some major events would make Bowede's attention linger for a while.
"Hmm?" Bowede's eyes suddenly focused.
"Bastard!" Bowede quickly read the report.
This is a news item targeting their Enforcement Bureau.
They said that they were afraid of the powerful and did not dare to arrest the relatives of some high-ranking officials.
Bowede knew about this case and he gave the order personally.
Are you kidding? Who dares to mess with that crazy woman Nirmala Sitharaman? He knows that even Finance Minister Arun doesn't want to offend Nirmala.
Most will give in.
This woman is too vengeful. This case involves one of her nephews, so it is naturally impossible for Bowede to really catch the person.
So, when he knew the true circumstances of the case, he called a halt.
This kind of thing is more of a headache for the police. Their law enforcement agency doesn't want to deal with such troublesome matters.
I didn't expect that this case would be reported in the newspaper.
This is going to put their law enforcement agency in the spotlight.
Bowede immediately convened a meeting and relevant leaders from the Law Enforcement Bureau attended.
In fact, many people have seen this news.
Most people think there is nothing wrong with this. So what if it is reported?
Recently, their law enforcement bureau has gained a very good reputation. The efficiency and case solving ability have made the public very satisfied.
This case should not affect the overall situation.
"Confused." Seeing his men not taking it seriously, Bo Wade couldn't help but shout, "Can't you see? Someone is targeting our Law Enforcement Bureau."
"who?"
“I can’t think of anyone other than the CBI?”
Everyone started discussing it immediately.
"Yes, those bastards from the CBI," Bowede confirmed.
In fact, you don’t have to guess who it is.
Now both sides dislike each other, and open and covert struggles have been going on countless times.
In the past, the law enforcement agency would definitely not dare to do so.
But with the support from above, the Law Enforcement Bureau has become more and more courageous.
Now, they find that the Central Bureau of Investigation does not seem to be that powerful either.
Judging from the current battle situation, they even have the upper hand over the Central Bureau of Investigation.
This made them more eager to fight.
They were only too happy to do anything that would give the CBI a run for its money.
Because if they succeed, it means they can slap the Central Bureau of Investigation in the face and suppress the Central Bureau of Investigation.
"Chief, what should we do? This case is very difficult." Someone said with a worried look on his face.
They had finally suppressed the Central Bureau of Investigation. If this matter was not handled properly, the Central Bureau of Investigation might get back on track, which was something they did not want to see.
"That's why I called everyone together to see what everyone thinks," said Bowede.
"What did the Minister say?" someone asked.
"The minister means that this case must not be handled," Bowede replied.
Of course he discussed the case with Allen.
Allen made it clear that the Enforcement Agency was not allowed to get involved.
Bowede understood what Allen meant. If it were some other senior officials in the government, Allen, the Minister of Finance, would still be able to handle it.
Even if their relatives were arrested, the law enforcement agency wouldn't have much of a problem if Allen could help.
But this time it was Nirmala, and even Arun, the finance minister, was wary of him.
Allen was unwilling to provoke that woman unless it was necessary.
"Yes, it can't be done." Everyone present almost reached a unanimous opinion.
This case cannot be taken, they all know who Nirmala is.
If they were to cause trouble for a woman who couldn't even handle the Minister of Finance, wouldn't that be courting death? "Director, I have an idea," Ha Yuelai said.
"Hurry up and tell me." Bowede asked immediately.
He has a very good relationship with Deputy Director Ha Yuelai, and Ha Yuelai is a man of many ideas, and most of the time it is he who comes up with the solutions.
In the struggle with the Central Bureau of Investigation, Hajolai can be said to be a very key figure.
If it weren't for Hayo's arrival, Bowede didn't think the Enforcement Bureau would have been doing so well recently.
So Ha Yuelai is almost the military advisor of the Law Enforcement Bureau and their brain.
Everyone else also looked at Ha Yuelai.
"Everyone is right. We definitely cannot interfere in this case." Ha Yuelai said with a smile, "Didn't the Central Bureau of Investigation say that we are afraid of the powerful? Well, if they are not afraid, then let them take this case."
Bo Wade was stunned for a moment and said, "The CBI people are not fools, how could they answer it?"
This kind of case is a hot potato and no one wants to get involved.
"They want to use public opinion to force us, but we can also use public opinion to fight back against them." Ha Yuelai said with a smile.
"Tell me quickly, with details," Bowede asked hurriedly.
The others also looked expectant.
They were full of confidence in Hayolai's idea.
After all, the prestige of the Law Enforcement Bureau during this period is largely due to the advice and suggestions from Ha Yuelai.
"As to why we didn't take this case, we still have to give an explanation. Our law enforcement bureau has too many cases on hand recently and is short of staff, so we can't take care of some cases," said Ha Yue.
"Will the public believe this?" Bowede frowned and said, "And the CBI will definitely say this is just an excuse from us."
"We can add some more words later. For example, the CBI has several times more people than us, but they have only a few cases. Is it reasonable for them to do nothing when they have enough people? In this case, the CBI should take over this case." Ha Yuelai smiled and said, "Recently, our Enforcement Bureau has handled so many cases, and the public has seen it. How many cases has the CBI handled? In comparison, it is very obvious. By then, the public will definitely focus on the CBI."
"That's right." Bowede laughed. "The CBI is not doing its job and wants to point fingers at us. Aren't they very idle? Then we should find something for them to do. No, it should be that they want to find something for themselves to do. This case is the public opinion they created."
There was a smile on everyone's face.
This is like kicking the ball back. Let's see how the Central Bureau of Investigation responds.
"What if the Central Bureau of Investigation still doesn't answer?" someone asked.
"That's the Central Bureau of Investigation's problem. I think the public's dissatisfaction will definitely be vented to the Central Bureau of Investigation, not us. We have been working very hard to investigate the case recently. I believe the public has sharp eyes and can tell who is working and who is being lazy." Ha Yuelai said with a smile.
"Okay, let's do it." Bowede laughed, "Let our news media fight back immediately. Just follow this line of thought. I want to see what the CBI will do."
If they don't take the call, the CBI's reputation among the public will become even worse.
If this is answered, will the person be arrested?
If he is caught, it would be an offense to Nirmala.
In short, in the view of Bowede and others, the Central Bureau of Investigation must be in a dilemma.
The law enforcement bureau is very efficient.
After the meeting, they immediately asked the news media under their control to launch a public opinion counterattack.
The Central Bureau of Investigation received the news at the first opportunity.
Ever since they exposed the matter, Vides has been keeping an eye on the movements of the law enforcement agency.
After seeing the public backlash from the Law Enforcement Bureau, Vides' face looked ugly.
This is a counter-attack on them.
Vides found himself in a difficult position.
After thinking about it, he called Rajnath.
It would be better to communicate with Rajnath about this matter.
"You are confused." Rajnath was overwhelmed after hearing this. "That woman is not easy to deal with. The Enforcement Bureau obviously wants to bring this troublesome matter to you, so you must not accept it."
"Mr. Minister, if you don't take this call, the CBI's blow will be even more severe," said Vides.
"What did you say? You don't want to take this case, do you?" Rajnath's heart skipped a beat. "Don't mess around."
"Mr. Minister, this is what I think." Vides hurriedly explained, "Now that the Enforcement Bureau has done this, everyone is watching. If the Central Bureau of Investigation does not take any action, I am afraid that the Enforcement Bureau will laugh at me. Laughing does not matter, the most important thing is that I am afraid of losing more power. If Minister Sitharaman's nephew is arrested, we will not do anything to him. After a few days, when the limelight of this matter has passed, we will find an excuse to release him. I believe Minister Sitharaman can understand?"
Rajnath was lost in thought.
In fact, he also understood that if Vides did not take the case, the law enforcement agency would probably not let it go, and public opinion would become even more fierce.
The power of the Central Bureau of Investigation will continue to be weakened, which he does not want to see.
I'm afraid that my Ministry of the Interior will also be greatly affected.
Rajnath knew Arun's character very well. If he had a chance to attack him, he would definitely show no mercy.
Now Arun is still highly regarded by the old immortal, which makes Rajnath feel a little helpless.
If Vides is just arresting people for show, then maybe that's a solution.
After all, this would give an explanation to the people.
As for how to proceed later, that will be a matter for later.
Once the heat of this incident has died down and fewer people are paying attention to it, releasing the person won’t have much of an impact anymore.
In this case, Nirmala's nephew will not have to go to court or anything, and as long as Vides keeps him well fed and well served during his time in the CBI, I believe there will be no problem.
"That's worth a try." Rajnath said after a while, "But I'm worried. What if you catch someone and the Enforcement Agency refuses to give up and uses public opinion to force you to hand him over to the court for sentencing?"
"Mr. Minister, I don't think this will happen," said Vides. "We don't dare to offend Minister Sitharaman, but do we think the Enforcement Department will dare to do so? They are staring at us and forcing us to conduct various investigations. If they really want to hand the person over to the court for sentencing, will Minister Sitharaman let the Enforcement Department off?"
"That's right. Arun has a pretty good relationship with Minister Sitharaman." Rajnath smiled and said, "Okay, let's do this. You have to ensure the safety of Minister Sitharaman's nephew and take good care of him."
"I understand. You can rest assured about this," said Vides.
After convincing Rajnath, Vides immediately took action.
He sent people to arrest Nirmala's nephew and all the people involved in the case.
It can be said that Vides's movements were very fast.
When the Enforcement Directorate raised questions, the Central Bureau of Investigation quickly completed the matter.
The efficiency is surprisingly high.
After seeing the news, Roton was a little dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that Vides actually arrested someone.
In Roton's mind, Vides shouldn't do this. How could he arrest someone?
No matter what happens, in Roton's opinion, he should still discuss this matter with the law enforcement agency. If he discusses it for a long time, the matter may be over.
Because if the situation gets worse over time, Nirmala might come forward.
After all, this matter involves her nephew.
Nirmala Sitharaman, Rowdon certainly knew.
This is a strong person, especially a woman.
Luoton was very clear about her resume.
This woman will take over as the Minister of Defense in the future. Isn't it amazing for a woman to be the Minister of Defense? I'm not saying that I look down on women. The fact that she can be the Minister of Defense shows how amazing this woman is.
The latter woman took over as Minister of Finance after Allen stepped down.
Because she was a loyal supporter of the old immortal, she was highly respected by him.
She started serving as Finance Minister during Lao Xian's second term and continued to serve as Finance Minister during his third term.
However, her most powerful thing is that during the old immortal's second term, the power of the Law Enforcement Bureau expanded tremendously.
It was at this moment that the Enforcement Bureau's power reached its peak, completely crushing the Central Bureau of Investigation.
