Mumbai: Industrialist Anil Ambani on Friday said fear of the three Cs – CBI, CVC and CAG – was slowing down decision-making.

Pitching for protection of government officials, the chairman of Reliance Group said that quick decisions usually “raise eyebrows” and bring them under the scanner of investigation, vigilance and audit agencies. While clarifying that he was not asking for a non-transparent system, he quoted government officials as saying, “The best thing for us to do is not to take decisions because then we’re protected.”

He praised the recent coal ordinance in this respect, saying, “All officials who are involved in the coal auction process have been protected from any further legal scrutiny and criminal scrutiny in future.”
