NEW DELHI: Jailed former telecom minister A Raja on Wednesday told a Delhi court that he would get Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, then finance minister P Chidambaram and present telecom minister Kapil Sibal summoned as witnesses to prove government did not incur any loss in the 2G allocation.

“Aaj main bata dena chahta hu ki main Prime Minister, tabke finance minister or vartman ke telecom minister ko battor gawah banaunga (Today, I want to state that I would get the Prime Minister, the then finance minister and the present telecom minister summoned as witnesses),” senior advocate Sushil Kumar, appearing for Raja, told Special CBI Judge OP Saini.

The moment it is established that there was no loss to the state exchequer, the whole case of cheating and conspiracy in the spectrum allocation will go, he said, claiming that the Prime Minister and two other ministers would be able to establish that.

He said Raja would move an application under section 91 of the CrPC for getting certain documents from the CBI which had so far not been brought before the court.(PTI)
