AIADMK take a dig at DMK leadership on 2G spectrum issue

Without naming anyone, AIADMK today accused the DMK top brass of being involved in the 2G spectrum allocation scam.

"Spectrum mega scam is no longer confined to (former telecom minister) A Raja. According to reports, behind Raja there is a 'maharaja' sitting in Chennai. Probably, that is the reason why the prime minister is silent despite getting censure from Supreme Court," AIADMK leader V Maitreyan alleged.

He, however, did not name the 'maharaja' while talking to reporters outside Parliament House.

Reiterating the demand for JPC, he said, "Our stand is clear. Till the government agrees on JPC, Parliament will not be allowed to function."

Parliament continued to remain disrupted for the fifth consecutive day as opposition stalled the proceedings to demand setting up of a Joint Parliamentary Committee to probe the 2G spectrum allocation.
