"Sangh (RSS) has made him a target since Chidambaram has sped up investigations in the terror cases involving people from RSS," Singh told reporters.

Condemning former finance minister and senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha's statement that the home minister deserves to be in the same cell at Tihar where Raja is lodged, the AICC general secretary said, "Chidambaram is a man of integrity, a man of competence and there is no question of any charges against him."

Seeking to turn the table on BJP on the 2G issue, he said, "If there have been losses over 2G, this should also not be forgotten that, the NDA government had changed the policy of allotment of telecom circles through competitive tendering introduced by Narsimha Rao led Congress government."

"They had changed the policy for the same licence holders and introduced the provisions of license fee and revenue sharing. Did no loss occur due to this? The CAG has also reported on that decision and quantified the loss by change of policy. Should they also not go to Tihar jail by the same logic," he said.

Singh said the opposition party should, "Look in its own backyard first before levelling allegations against others... Particularly when it is against an able and competent minister like Chidambaram."

Implausible... VPM would surely have known that IB would make an interception... I seriously doubt that anyone in the UPA would be afraid of a coup de etat ...
They acted out of malice and attempted to show who is the boss...

...

similar kind of reasoning was given as justification for initiating operation bluestar by Kangress.

If there was further proof of Singh’s indecisiveness, it came, ironically, from the then finance minister P Chidambaram, who did not do much to prevent the scandal, as has been revealed by the recent finance ministry note. But back then, on January 15, 2008, a detailed four-page note to the prime minister on “spectrum charges” made a powerful argument for an auction. “Spectrum is a scarce resource,” Chidambaram wrote, and “the price of spectrum should be based on its scarcity value.”

Even the 'family party' backed and financed them.

It mustn’t be forgotten that the ‘family’s’ antipathy towards the sikh community due to their zealous protestation against the emergency was neither forgotten; nor forgiven. Though we digress.

Pranab, Singh meeting seeks to resolve 2G mess

Press Trust Of India
New York, September 25, 2011


Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee has arrived New York for a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the 2G spectrum issue in the wake of a finance ministry note involving P Chidambaram.

Mukherjee arrived from Washington rescheduling his travel plans ahead of his return home Monday evening.

He refused to talk to journalists as Secret Service personnel herded him to his room in the hotel where the Indian delegation accompanying the Prime Minister is also staying.

A senior MEA official had to make way for Mukherjee's accommodation in a suite in view of pressure on hotels due to the ongoing General Assembly session of the United Nations for which several delegations from various countries are currently in the city.

Sources said that the meeting has been sought by Mukherjee.

The Prime Minister had on Saturday rejected the Opposition demand for the resignation of home minister Chidambaram over the 2G issue and made it clear he would defend all his Cabinet colleagues.

Ahead of his meeting with Mukherjee, Singh had also said there was nothing "unusual" in the demand of the Opposition and asserted there was no question of him getting bothered about it.

He was replying to questions by reporters on the strident demand of the Opposition for Chidambaram's resignation in the light of the Finance Ministry's 2G note to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) submitted to the Supreme Court last week.

Chidu is not an issue. Both PC and PM are damaged goods now. How can either replace MMS?

RG has reverse Midas touch. Gold turns to dust.

Its the INC that has to spend sleepless nights.

But unfortunately removing MMS would mean acceptance of all the allegations at this moment. Timing is everything in life and 'Family' should have put RG in the seat after 2009 elections. Now it is going to be harder by everyday. This "Kid" is not even going to get even his customary honeymoon period.

This is where BJP pre-empted such a chance in 2009 and declared LKA as PM candidate forcing the Congress party to declare MMS as PM candidate. This disappointed several INC folks. Had they declared RG as PM candidate, the campaign points would have been different and the Sikh vote of Delhi would have gone differently.

The government’s zero-loss argument in the 2G spectrum scam, which is fast becoming the central line of defence for everyone from A Raja to the PM and to the current and former finance ministers, is not going to be easy to defend.

Reason: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which has put the loss from selling 2G spectrum at 2001 prices in 2008 at close to Rs 31,000 crore, did not pull this number out of thin air. It got this number from former Finance Secretary and present Reserve Bank Governor Duvvuri Subbarao.

In his six-page submission, which is listed as a ‘relied-upon document’ with the serial number 106, Subbarao has applied a methodology and calculated the loss through selling 2G spectrum at 2001 prices to be in the vicinity of Rs 31,000 crore. Subbarao’s submission is a legal document now and has been submitted to the Supreme Court along with the CBI charge-sheet.

The CBI has also listed Subbarao as a witness along with his six-page submission. This means the RBI governor may have to appear in court during the trial to discuss how he arrived at the Rs 31,000 crore figure. If the court is convinced about his argument, it will be tough for the government to claim that the 2G spectrum scam wasn’t a case of zero revenue loss, as claimed by Communications Minister Kapil Sibal and recently by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
