P Chidambaram Complicit in 2G, Record My Testimony: Subramanian Swamy
Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy today pleaded before a
Delhi court that it should bring on record purported new facts that
former Finance Minister P Chidambaram and former Telecom Minister A
Raja had a role in deciding 2G spectrum prices and entry fee.
In a fresh application in the court of Special CBI judge O P Saini,
Swami said he wanted to bring "new facts" on court records through
his deposition.
"The fact that the above named two ministers together decided that
the prices of spectrum and entry fee should be lumped together at
the 2001 level and decided against the market price of 2007-08
period for the entry fee, is confirmed by the speech of the Prime
Minister in Rajya Sabha on February 24, 2011," said Swamy in his
application.
He also sought to record his testimony afresh alleging complicity
of Chidambaram, now Union Home Minister, in spectrum pricing. This
has come now in public knowledge and this necessitates his
re-examination as a complainant, he submitted.
Swamy, who is pursuing a private complaint in the 2G scam, also
sought to examine CBI officials concerned "to establish the nexus
of accused persons with others, who have intentionally not been
made accused by the prosecuting agency."
Swami, in his application filed under Section 311 of CrPC for
summoning witnesses, alleged that, "The fact clearly shows that
Chidambaram was in collusion and active connivance with the then
Minister for Communication and IT, A Raja, to fix the prices at
2001 level jointly and with their unlawful acts both of them
thereby caused an unlawful loss to the public exchequer and have
taken unlawful gain for themselves."
The Janata Party chief also said he has also filed a similar plea
with the Supreme Court which is pending adjudication.
On August 26, Swamy had told the special court that he needed some
more time to file an application to make Chidambaram an accused in
the case as the matter is pending in the Supreme court.
In an earlier hearing, he had alleged before the court that the
charge sheets field by the CBI did not cover the role of
Chidambaram, who "jointly took important decisions" on allocation
of radio waves.
On September 8, the apex court had directed Swamy to submit all his
correspondence with the CBI in connection with his plea to
investigate Chidambaram's alleged role in the 2G scam.
Swamy had told the apex court, "A pricing formula for spectrum
would not be valid and binding until it had the concurrence of both
the DoT and MoF," and, added that Chidambaram was Finance Minister
when the spectrum allocation was made.
