Chennai, Feb. 23 (ANI): The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Saturday backed former Telecom Minister A. Raja, who has expressed his desire to appear before the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), and said it is convinced that there is nothing wrong in the allocation of spectrum.
Spokesperson TKS Elangovan said Raja has written a letter to LS Speaker Meira Kumar requesting her to permit him to appear before the JPC probing the 2G spectrum scam.
“I think there is nothing wrong in it because he is the prime accused and he has to be heard. When JPC is going into the allocation of spectrum and Raja being the prime accused, the JPC should also hear him and then decide on their report. So, I don’t think there is anything wrong in Raja claiming that he should also be heard,” said Elangovan. “We are convinced that there is nothing wrong in the allocation of spectrum, but somehow it was hyped very big and a propaganda has gone against the DMK and the DMK Ministers and also the UPA Government. But Raja has time and again said that he had been following what the previous government had followed, he has not done anything new in this regard. So, Raja depose before the JPC and let the JPC come out with a conclusion,” he added.Elangovan further said that he believes in the former Telecom Minister’s statement that he has not done anything wrong.
