Print New Delhi, 11 November 2010: Even as the Opposition stalled Parliament proceedings today and demanded resignation of telecom minister A Raja, the UPA government went strongly on the offensive in his defence by filing an affidavit in the Supreme Court.
The affidavit says there is no case made out for monitoring the investigation by the CBI or SIT. The government has also denied that the 2G Spectrum allocation caused a loss of Rs 90,000 to 1,40,000 crore to the exchequer
Such reports are misconceived and bereft of merit, says the affidavit. This comes even as key ally the DMK has dug in its heels, making it clear to the government that Raja will remain in the cabinet
The party says the government should wait till the CBI probe into the spectrum scam is over since whatever the Minister did was based on norms set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.
