Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal today contested the claims of jailed former Telecom Secretary Siddhartha Behura over a December, 2007 meeting held regarding entry fees for 2G licences, in which he had said the then Finance Minister P Chidambaram and former Finance Secretary D Subbarao were present.
"We have looked into records. The records show that there was no such meeting. Neither Chidambaram (now Union Home Minister) nor Subbarao (now RBI Governor) remember any such meeting," Sibal told PTI.
He said, "It is surprising that the then telecom secretary (Behura), who joined (Department of Telecom) on January 1, 2008, is referring to a meeting of December 4, 2007, when he had no personal knowledge of the meeting and has not produced any document to support veracity of his submission."
