2G scam: Kanimozhi shows all is well with her, Raja
After reports of Ram Jethmalani attempting to distance her from A Raja, Kanimozhi on Saturday sat behind the arrested former telecom minister and made it a point to speak to him frequently.
With mother Rajathi Ammal having arrived in Delhi and by her side, Kanimozhhi seemed to make an effort to dispel media reports of her keeping her interaction with Raja to a minimum on Friday when she had only exchanged a brief handshake with the DMK leader.
As on Friday, there were several DMK supporters and office-bearers, including leader of the party in Lok Sabha T R Balu, around Kanimozhi and her mother as they watched the court proceedings. While others kept sitting, every now and then Rajathi Ammal would stand up and crane her neck forward to make sense of happenings before special judge O P Saini.
Kanimozhi's husband Aravinthan sat next to her and often joined the conversation as other accused like Shahid Balwa, his brother Asif and Vinod Goenka looked on.
By the time the hearing ended around 4 pm, Raja was visibly relaxed and appeared in a jovial mood. Munching a chewing gum he cracked jokes, and even hugged a few of his supporters as he prepared to be taken back to Tihar Jail.
On being asked if he was in good health, the former minister flashed a smile and answered, "To know of my health please ask the jail superintendent and to know of my security please ask the judge."
