2G scam: Supreme Court asks Govt to file affidavit on PM's behalf | | The Supreme Court on Thursday asked for an affidavit to be filed by Saturday on behalf of the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, which explains why he took close to a year to respond to a request for the prosecution of former Telecom Minister A Raja over 2G scam. Delivering
the order, the court said, "It's an extremely serious matter, we must know what
has been kept back." The apex court has asked for the details of communication
between the PMO and Janata Party President and former Law Minister Subramaniam
Swamy, who had sought sanction for the prosecution of Raja. In response to the
apex court's order, Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium said we are ready to submit
all documents, all letters of Swamy have been dealt with. Earlier on Tuesday,
the apex court asked the Government to explain why the Prime Minister took eleven
months in taking a decision on a plea for sanction of prosecution of the former
Telecom Minister in the controversial 2G spectrum allocation issue. Raja was forced
to resign on Sunday night under considerable pressure from the Congress, which
has been attacked in Parliament by a united Opposition on corruption charges.
