CPI: Govt’s collective functioning will now be under scanner
CPI on Saturday said it would examine the trial court order dismissing a plea to make Home Minister P Chidambaram a co-accused in the 2G scam case, but noted that the recent other court verdicts would have “far-reaching implications” on the Government’s collective functioning.
The Supreme Court order cancelling 122 2G licences and order by the lower court would have “far-reaching implications on the collective functioning of the Cabinet and individual responsibility of concerned Ministers, CPI national secretary D Raja said here.
Noting that these orders could become “precedents” for the future, he said “ethical and moral questions” could be raised with respect to the role of Chidambaram, the then Finance Minister, from documents like the March 25 note of the Finance Ministry which were in the public domain. The note by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had suggested that Chidambaram could have prevented the scam by insisting on auction of spectrum.
“It is a relief for Government,” says Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on dismissal of plea against Chidambaram in the 2G case.
