Tata candid, Radia evasive during PAC questioning

New Delhi: Tata Sons Chairman Ratan Tata and Niira Radia were today quizzed in connection with 2G spectrum scam by Parliament’s PAC whose head M M Joshi said the panel found the industrialist candid and the corporate lobbyist “evasive”.
The PAC will tomorrow question Reliance Communications Chairman Anil Ambani, as also Etisalat DB Telecom CEO Atul Jhamb, S-Tel CEO Shamik Das and Unitech Wireless Managing Director Sigve Brekke on the same issue.
PAC quizzed Radia for two hours and Tata for three hours on issues related to the 2G spectrum allocation scam.
“It was felt by the PAC that Niira Radia was not putting facts clearly. She was not in a mood to place facts before the committee. When asked about the tapes, at first she dilly-dallied and was evasive,” Joshi told reporters.
