A.Raja was arrested today related to 2G scam along with his secretaries. NDTV reports that he was arrested based on the facts collected so far. Raja is evasive on key matters. The question is why now? DMK and Congress tried to cover this up. Supreme Court intervened and condemned CBI and made Prime Minister to file an affidavit. He was untouched.Kapil Sibal recently said there is no loss.
The Central Government appointed one man commission submitted its reports. There are indications that officials and A.Raja indicted on this report. The CBI needs to submit his interim report to Supreme Court on Feb 10th. Tamil Nadu election around the corner. DMK and Congress alliance is sealed. Both need to offload the extra baggage. Parliament Budget session is next two weeks. Government needs to deal with opposition on JPC. Congress considered these factors and decided to take advantage by arresting A.Raja.
On Feb 10th, CBI is submitting its interim report to SC. Without concrete action, CBI may be condemned by SC.CBI and Government may want to avoid embarrassment. Congress can use this to pressure DMK to get more seats and power sharing agreement. In return they can spare Kanimozhi and company, later continue weakening the case. It looks like DMK will yield as there is not many option for them. It is DMK turn to be at receiving end. Congress can argue now against JPC claiming case is pending in court and A.Raja is arrested.
We need to understand this 2G scam is much larger than A.Raja. The complete network must be exposed along with individuals and corporates. In my view, only JPC will be have enough power to investigate all aspects. Precisely this is the reason why JPC provision is added to our constitution. There are alleged involvements by corporates, Sonia Gandhi and her sisters, Karunanidhi and his family, etc. These aspects must be investigated as well. The best way we can find resolution for this is JPC investigation in an open forum.
