2G scam

Sadiq Batcha, close of aide of A.Raja, and an accused in the 2G scam was found dead by hanging in his residence at Chennai. Batcha was questioned several times by the CBI in connection with the 2G scam. It is stated that he had full knowledge of many transactions in connection with the scam.

Is it suicide or some foul play? In such cases, it is not unusual that crucial witnesses / accused disappear from the scene so that further enquiries/questioning can not be conducted. CBI is already on the trail.

2G scam, kanimozhi

After the payment of Rs. 240 crore to Kalaignar TV by Swan Promoter Shahid Balwa has been confirmed from the latter by the CBI, it is almost inevitable that Ms. Kanimozhi,M.P. and daughter of K.Karunanidhi, Chief Minister, T.Nadu and who have about 20% shares in the Kalaingar TV will be questioned. Kalaignar TV has stated that the Rs. 240 crore was a loan and has been returned, the evidences so far received by the CBI is pointing towards it as kick back for the grant of licence to Swan Telecom.

Anyway, within a few days it will be known how the CBI deal with this. Some media has reported that this was one issue which was clinched in the Congress DMK seat sharing discussion and agreement so that there will not be further embarassment for the Karunanidhi family.

2G scam

CPI(M) has reiterated its demand for cancellation of the licences of those private telcos who got the spectrum through the first come first served formula and recover the losses.

Com. Prakash Karat, General Secretary, CPI (M) in a statement said:” It is not enough to arrest a few persons. The Government should cancel these licences and auction the spectrum so that the revenue lost can be recovered.”

CPI(M) was the first to point out to this biggest scam in the country in 2008 itself. Its continuous exposal and also of the other opposition parties had compelled the Government to dismiss Communications Minister A.Raja and appointment of JPC to inquire in the matter.

2G scam – Kanimozhi may be questioned.

27 Sunday Feb 2011

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in 2G Scam Corruption, Politics India

≈ Leave a comment

It is reported in the press, that Ms. Kanimozhi, Member of Parliament and daughter of Karunanidhi may be questioned by CBI in connection with the 2G scam. She is having substantial shares in Kalaignar TV which is reported to have received kick back by one of the 2G licencee. But the DMK has denied that any kick back stating that it was a loan and the same has been returned. It is interesting that it was returned only recently after the 2G scam became a big issue.

≈ Leave a comment

It has been reported that CBI has raided the houses of A.Raja both at Delhi and Chennai connected with the 2 G Scam. CBI also raided the houses of four top officers of DOT in this connection. There is no limit to the extent of the scam or connected persons. But still the government is refusing JPC inquiry. Why ? Whom the government is trying to save?

Why not JPC? Whom the Government want to save?

28 Sunday Nov 2010

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in 2G Scam Corruption

≈ Leave a comment

Even after the entire opposition demanded for a JAC to look in to the 2G Spectrum scam the Government is saying a stubborn NO. Some of the UPA partners have stated that they have no objection for a JPC. It means that the majority of the Parliament is not against a JPC? Eleven days have ben completely wasted without doing any business. Then why the government is being so arrogant and stubborn. Whom it wants to save?  The people of the country has got a right to know.
