"Law will take its own course. Law does not discriminate between person to person. We have respect for law," party spokesman Rashid Alvi told reporters.

He was reacting to reports that CBI has questioned Maran last week, the first time after the agency had registered a regular case against him, his brother Kalanithi Maran, and some others on charges of complicity in the deal.
