Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy has said that it would not be possible to stop terrorism till P Chidambaram is home minister.
“He is a traitor and the most corrupt minister in the UPA government. There are proofs of his anti-national activities, which I have placed before court. He has Rs 50,000 crore in foreign banks,” Swamy said in response to a query at a ‘Meet the press’ programme held at Indore Press Club on Sunday.
Elaborating, Swamy said Chidambaram as finance minister manipulated the stock market, doctored its rise and fall for vested interest. As finance minister, he insisted on buying paper used for printing Indian currency notes from a London (UK) firm, which also supplied it to Pakistan.
This posed the risk of Pakistan intelligence agency ISI circulating fake currency notes in India. “Similarly, he introduced participatory note cash that was another threat to Indian economy. There are seven to eight large scams, if unearthed, would confine him to jail for rest of life,” he said.
While discussing Chidambaram’s role in 2G spectrum scam as finance minister, Swamy said he dismissed advice of officials who warned him at every stage of low spectrum pricing.
Last Wednesday, Swamy submitted to the Supreme Court documents indicating that Chidambaram along with jailed former communications minister A Raja was involved in deciding the 2G spectrum price.
“Raja acted on Chidambaram’s directives. CBI should investigate it. Either, it doesn’t have documents or it is hiding it,” Swamy remarked.
Spectrum licenses were sold to non-telecom, foreign firms Etisalat linked to ISI and Telenor, a Norway company that uses Chinese telecom instruments. “This risked our important information being hacked by Chinese. Then home minister Shivraj Patil’s circular that the two companies should not be given license was overlooked,” Swamy added.
On PM Manmohan Singh
Congress party wants to pull him down from the post. He is like Mahabharat’s Dhritrashtra or Bhishmacharya who despite knowing the wrong didn’t stop it (the scam).
On Jan Lokpal Bill
I don’t agree with most of its provisions as we have sufficient laws to jail the guilty, corrupt. Jailed A Raja, Kanimozi are an example. Only benefit is that prosecution sanction will not be required from government.
On Tihar Jail
Cooks at Tihar jail are learning to make idli-sambar for south Indians A Raja and others. I told them they would soon have to make pizza and spaghetti. – Hindustan Times, Indore, September 26, 2011
