In a major relief to the Union Home Minister P Chidambaram and to the UPA government, the 2G trial court today dismissed the plea by Janata Party president Dr, Subramanian Swamy seeking to make P Chidambaram a co-accused along with former telecom minister A Raja.
The Patiala House Court of Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge OP Saini said that no case can be made out against Chidambaram in the 2G scam. Judge Saini took 30 minutes to decide the case and then pronounced that Swamy's petition had been dismissed. The Judge read out a very short and terse two-line statement telling Swamy that his petition was being dismissed on the basis of the facts which had been presented by the petitioner before the court, the judge did not believe that those facts were so strong as to make Chidambaram into a co-accused in the 2G scam.
Welcoming the verdict, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said "Someone was unfairly persecuted. Even in the Supreme Court's order, it was never mentioned that the (then) finance minister's (P Chidambaram) directive was ignored. Rather, it was the Finance Ministry that was mentioned by the SC." Meanwhile, Congress leader Salman Khurshid said that the court verdict was a relief. "We have full confidence in the court. There is no questionable dimension regarding the verdict."
