After the press conference by the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, a question has arisen. Whose statement is correct, whether that of the Prime Minister or that of the Finance Minister regarding the suggestion made by the Finance Ministry on 2G allotment.
It was stated by the RBI Governor Subba Rao before the PAC (Public Accounts Committee )that the Finance Ministry has objected to the DOT regarding granting allotment of 2G spectrum with out auction. This was stated by the Finance Ministry also earlier. Now in the press conference held on 16th February, the Prime Minister has stated that ‘ the finance ministry and DOT were on the same page on the spectrum pricing’. Both statements are contradictory. The question naturally arises, who is correct?
Any way, this issue will be raised by the opposition in the PAC or the JAC.
