Nothing short of JPC probe acceptable to AIADMK: Jaya

CHENNAI: AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa today said nothing short of a JPC probe into the 2G spectrum scam was acceptable to her party and claimed that former Telecom Minister A Raja's arrest showed that those backing him have now "accepted his guilt".

"These parties had initially said Raja was not guilty. But they have now accepted his guilt, following his arrest," she told reporters here.

Raja, who had allegedly manipulated procedures in allocation of 2G Spectrum was arrested yesterday along with two officials by the CBI.

Jayalalithaa was speaking after paying floral tributes to C N Annadurai, DMK founder at his memorial on his 41st death anniversary.
