The government has asked Aircel to help its 2G mobile customers port their numbers to other telephony operators in case the Supreme Court was to pass an adverse order
Addressing a public meeting at Suramangalam near here last night, Raja claimed he was innocent and there was no evidence against him in the alleged irregularities in allocation of 2G spectrum.
A Raja, the prime accused in 2G spectrum scam, on Wednesday came to Parliament a day after being released from Tihar jail where he was lodged after his arrest in the case on February 1 last year.
It is a crucial day for former telecom minister A Raja. After 15 months in the jail over the 2G scam, a Delhi court is likely to pronounce its verdict on his bail plea. This is the first time that he has sought bail in the 15 months that he's been in jail since his arrest in February, 2011.
In an interview to CNBC-TV18, A Raja's lawyer Sushil Kumar says, A Raja was never heard by the court. "Court has fully condemned him," he asserts.
Former telecom minister A Raja's lawyer Sushil Kumar has refused to file a reply to charges of criminal breach of public trust while asking the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) if the probe against him in the 2G spectrum allocation scam has been completed or not.
Telecom firm Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Limited, accused in 2G spectrum allocation scam, today told a Delhi court that there was no evidence to show that it had conspired with former Telecom Minister A Raja and others to get radio waves despite being an ineligible firm.
The CBI has begun probing if the country's internal security too stood compromised due to the 2G spectrum allocation to ineligible telecom operators during former Telecom Minister A Raja's tenure, the agency told a Delhi court on Tuesday.
