BJP seeks details of a missing file on 2G case

NEW DELHI: BJP today claimed that it had details of a file relating to the 2G spectrum allocation which now remains untraceable and demanded that the government should come out with the truth and stop shielding Home Minister P Chidambaram in the case.

Charging that Chidambaram- who was Finance Minister when the 2G spectrum allocations were made- is "as guilty" as then Telecom Minister A Raja, BJP leader Yashwant Sinha said action should be initiated against him as well.

"All papers in the public domain support the charge that Chidambaram is as guilty as Raja," Sinha said.

Janata Party President Subramanium Swamy has asked in court for details of a file- pertaining to the 2G scam- which has gone missing.

Asked for his comments, Sinha said, "Even I have a file number- 20/100/2007-AS-1 (PT)- which the government says does not exist. Several such files are missing."

Sinha maintained that Chidambaram should not be summoned as a witness but as an accused in court in the 2G spectrum allocation case.
