Court Framing Charges In 2G Scam Purely A Process Of Law : Cong

New Delhi, Oct 22: Congress today reacted sharply to BJP demand for a CBI probe against P Chidambaram after a Delhi court framed charges against former Telecom minister A Raja, DMK MP Kanimozhi and 15 others in the 2G Spectrum scam, describing it as “purely a process of law”.

The party also snubbed those reading a political meaning into former Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi’s meeting with party chief Sonia Gandhi here, saying it was wrong to link it up with 2G issue or Kanimozhi’s case.

“Today’s order is an inevitable stage in criminal justice trial. This is purely a process of law on which a political party has no need to comment. Those political parties, which are needlessly or deliberately trying to politicise this inevitable and inexorable process of criminal justice system are wrong in principle, in law and in fact,” party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters here.

BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said, “There are sufficient prima facie charges to prove they are guilty...A Raja had engaged in a criminal conspiracy. The ex-minister continues to say that this particular charge can equally apply to the then Finance Minister (Chidambaram).”
