After much exposure of the scam and causing further damage to the Government, it has decided to cancel the Antrix-Devas agreement, which was to hand over S-Band Spectrum to a private company Devas as also sending two satellites in to orbit for the commercial purpose of the private company to grab huge profit. The CAG has calculated the estimated loss to the government at about Rs. 2 lakh crore. This was a serious security concern also.

Now that the government has decided to cancel it, certain questions remain:

Why an agreement made in 2005, concerning the security of the nation as also huge loss to the nation not come to the notice of the government till it was raised by the CAG?

Devas Management says that the agreement has been signed with the knowledge of the PMO, foreign companies connected with the deal has met the Prime Minister and that the deal has been made with the knowledge of all concerned in the government. Then why no action was taken to terminate the agreement during these five years?

The Government has only cancelled the agreement. What about the actions against the culprits?

The government will have to answer these questions to the nation. The opposition will seriously raise these issues in the Parliament also.
