New Delhi, May 06: Telecom Minister A Raja was in the eye of a storm in the Parliament today with BJP and AIADMK alleging that the country had lost Rs one lakh crore in 2G spectrum allocation and demanding a JPC probe, pending which Raja should be removed from the ministry.
Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed uproar and an adjournment after members of AIADMK raised the issue of 2G spectrum allocation.
In the Lok Sabha, AIADMK member M Thambidurai, supported by BJP members, asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take the issue seriously and order a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe.
Thambidurai said Raja should be “kept out of the Ministry” till a JPC probe is held and the ongoing investigation by the CBI is completed.
