Steps have been initiated to water down the 2G scam investigations have begun some time back.
Doubts have been raised over the quantum of loss in allocating 2G licenses by the CAG by releasing an internal memo of the CAG,calling CAG to the PAC and allowing people to accept the fact that the estimated loss is notional with kapil Sibal declaring earlier that there is no loss involved,
Second making the accused complain that they are being forced to admission of wrong doing by the CBI.
Involving the Opposition Parties by extending the investigation to the NDA Government,
Now the raids are on.
Every one knows that Bharti Airtel is BJP,
The investigation will not be over before the elections.
If Congress were to come back to power,it will declare that the people have given their mandate and 2 G will have a natural death, a la Quatatrochchi.
If BJP combine were to come to power,it will also bury the case as BJP will have enough muck to sort out because of these raids, as BJP knows what Mahajan and others would have been upto.
Finally, people of India will be made fools ,as usual.
Extending its probe to NDA regime, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday registered a fresh case in the allocation of additional spectrum to private telecom firms when the late Pramod Mahajan was telecommunications minister in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.
“The agency has registered a case in the allocation of additional spectrum today during the NDA’s rule,” said a CBI official.
“The agency also raided the Vodafone office in Mumbai, Bharti Airtel office in Gurgaon and residences of Shyamal Ghosh and J.R. Gupta,” the official added. The late Pramod Mahajan of the Bharatiya Janata Party was telecom minister between 2001-2003.
While J.R. Gupta was the deputy director general in the telecom ministry, Shyamal Ghosh was telecom secretary.
Earlier, the investigating agency had conducted a preliminary inquiry regarding the allocation of additional spectrum from 2001 to 2007.
Bharti Airtel, however, denied to any irregularities in spectrum allocated to them. “Bharti Airtel has always maintained the highest standards of corporate governance and regulatory compliance. We would like to categorically state that all the spectrum allotted to us from time to time has been strictly as per the stated government policy. We are providing all details and correspondence to the authorities and shall provide complete support as needed in the matter,” a company’s spokesperson said.
