New Delhi: Indian Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal was on Friday ticked off by the Indian apex Court for undermining the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (CAG) report in the 2G scam and told to “behave with some sense of responsibility”.
“It is unfortunate. The minister should behave with some sense of responsibility,” a bench comprising Justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly said.
The court’s remark came after Janata Party President Subramaniam Swamy contended that Sibal’s statement might influence the investigation carried out by the Indian premier investigative agency, CBI under the supervision of the apex court.
Sibal had termed as “utterly erroneous and without any basis” the estimated loss of Rs.1.76 lakh crore to the exchequer projected by the CAG on account of allocation of 2G spectrum to telecom operators by his predecessor A Raja.
