Former telecom minister A Raja and DMK MP Kanimozhi are now happy. They were acquitted by a special court in the 2G spectrum scam case. Not only they, fifteen other accused in the case and three companies were also acquitted.
2G scam came to light almost seven years ago when India's auditing agency Comptroller and Auditor General in a report held then Telecom Minister A Raja responsible for causing the state exchequer a loss of Rs. 176000 crore by allocating 2G spectrum licenses at throwaway prices. But, the court found that the prosecution failed to prove the charges. Then, who is responsible for this huge loss? If none is found guilty it is the fate of India to remain as one of the most corrupt countries in the world where criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, abusing official position, and criminal misconduct have enough space to flourish.
