RAIPUR: Senior BJP leader L K Advani on Sunday alleged elaborate attempts at a cover-up in 2G scam and demanded “serious investigation” to ascertain the role of the then finance minister P Chidambaram in spectrum allocations.
Currently on a Jan Chetna Yatra against corruption, Advani also questioned Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s integrity and leadership alleging that his government had “no capacity left to respond to” multi-crore scams that took place “under his nose and, from all accounts in his knowledge”.His comments came in the wake of a Delhi court framing charges on Saturday against all the 17 accused in the 2G scam.
“While the framing of charges of fraud against a former Minister, several officials, an MP and functionaries of companies that allegedly benefitted from the scam is welcome, I believe the probe has left some important facets out of its ambit,” Advani said in a statement here.(PTI)
