Raja arrest an instance of law taking its own course: Cong

NEW DELHI: Congress today said the arrest of former Telecom Minister A Raja in the 2G spectrum allocation scam was a case of law taking its own course.

"Congress had said earlier also that all such cases should be investigated and enquired properly and law will take its own course," AICC General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi told reporters.

He dismissed as a "silly judgement" a question whether the arrest of a former Minister in the UPA government showed that the dispensation was corrupt.

"I am not bound to answer such silly judgement," he said. In reply to a question, he said the development would not have any bearing on the relations between the Congress and DMK, to which Raja belongs.
