“ 2G Scam Acquittals : Total Failure of Prosecution”
Shocking judgement by special CBI court on 2G spectrum allocation scam.
Judicial pronouncement or political narrative, one wonders ?
Bungling by CBI. Its evidences could not stand the judicial scrutiny.
Roles of high net worth industrial houses of India , is in question.
Indictment of former C&AG Vinod Rai raises more question than solve.
Sudden transfers of SP and DIG ,CBI charged with investigation of 2G scam at crucial moment ,was baffling.
“It was not A Raja, but Pulok Chatterjee, in consultation with TKA Nair, as he had suppressed the most relevant and controversial part of the letter of A Raja from the then Prime Minister,” said CBI Special Judge Saini.
Suggestions were made to the ruling dispensation to get T K A Nair, former Principal Secy and, more importantly, Pulok Chatterji, former JS, later elevated as Secretary to the then PM Manmohan Singh, interrogated by the CBI. Their earlier confessional statements to CBI had the stamp of approval of the then de facto PM.
Move to grill former PM’s aides was reportedly blocked by the all-powerful IAS fraternity. Why? And, at whose behest ? And, to protect whom ?
It will be simplistic to suggest that PM MMS was not kept in the loop by his aides. Files on policy matters and appointments were regularly shown to the Chairperson, NAC.
Pulok Chatterji wielded enormous power by virtue of his loyalty and proximity to the Cong supremo. A general factotum to the supremo, he kept shuttling between the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation and the PMO depending on which party was in power. This was an open secret much before Sanjay Baru’s memoirs “The Accidental Prime Minister, hit the stands.
In fact, Maun Maun Singh was so much enamoured of PM's chair that he chose to remain silent before formalising all oral orders of the Congress supremo, as conveyed by former PM's aides.
UPA’s caged parrot CBI remained soft to PMO officials ? It is understood that PMO officials' statements were legally and officially vetted to remain in sync with Manmohan Singh's stand. All to protect the supremo.
In order to get at the bottom of the truth, extra-ordinary steps are required against all accused. Skeletons in the cupboard will start tumbling out.
For how long could the real perpetrators be allowed to have a free run.
Any secret deal, one wonders?
The ruling political dispensation will have much to explain.
