Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Madhya Pradesh has mandated that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) must obtain written consent from the state government before initiating any inquiry against state officials. This move aligns with a broader trend where several states, including Meghalaya, Mizoram, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Kerala, and Punjab, have withdrawn general consent for CBI investigations. The decision aims to assert more state control over central investigative agencies and reflects the evolving dynamics of federal governance in India.
