2G note: Prashant Bhushan steps up pressure on Chidambaram

"The note of the finance ministry makes it clear that P Chidambaram was actively involved with the then telecom minister A Raja," the senior counsel said.

An non-governmental organisation on Wednesday joined hands with Janata Party Chief Subramanian Swamy in the Supreme Court in questioning the CBI probe into the alleged role of Home Minister P Chidambaram in 2G spectrum scam saying the finance ministry’s 2G note makes clear his "involvement" in granting the licence of radio waves at cheaper price.

The NGO, Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL), alleged the CBI probe has been "less than honest" and it has refused to probe against many high-profile persons including Chidambaram, who was the finance minister when the 2G spectrum was allocated without following the policy of auction.

"CBI investigation is not proceeding on the line it should go. Persons who need to be chargesheeted are not being booked in the scam. It now appears that CBI probe has been less than honest," advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for CPIL, told a bench of justices GS Singhvi and AK Ganguly.

The NGO, on whose plea the apex court had started monitoring the case, opposed the government plea that it is beyond the jurisdiction of the apex court to monitor the case anymore and order on conducting any probe against Chidambaram should not be passed by the bench.

"The note of the finance ministry makes it clear that P Chidambaram was actively involved with the then telecom minister A Raja to give licence and spectrum at 2001 price. He also approved the sale of stake by the telecom companies which were granted licence before they rolled out services," he said.
