NEW DELHI: A day after his acquittal in the 2G spectrum scam case, former telecom minister A Raja wrote an emotional letter to Karunanidhi and placed the verdict at “his feet with gratitude”.
“Who will punish those who tainted your 80-year public life? I place the 2G verdict on your feet with gratitude. You preserved me in snow so I wouldn’t dissolve in the spectrum battle
I’m waiting to hear your words,” he wrote.
“Spectrum attack tainted an ideological movement. Spectrum politics gave a handle to those who couldn’t shrink your governance. Spectrum battle conceived by individuals and waged by institutions including CVC, CBI, JVC,” he added.
He even called it a “shame that even UPA govt couldn’t realise it was trapped in the plot to bring it down.”
He also hit out at the media for not verifying the facts in the case. “The spectrum cartel was broken to pave way for the whatsapp Facebook Twitter revolution. Calling it a crime and jailing for this will happen only in India. The press and media which refused research and showed vulgar interest on spectrum wouldn’t ‘see’ the social perspective,” he wrote.
