nBillionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio on Wednesday slammed telecom industry body COAI for its “threatening and blackmailing” tone in its communication to the Government on non-existent crisis in the sector following the Supreme Court ruling on payment of statutory dues.
Reacting to the charges levelled by Jio, COAI Director General Rajan Mathews said: “This is a private matter between the members of the association and will be addressed in due course within the ambit of Governance structure of COAI.”
Jio has taken strong exception to the Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI) dispatching a late night communication to the government without waiting for its comments. In a strongly-worded letter to Mathews, Jio said that an unlikely event of failure of two operators will not have any impact on competition and the Centre’s Digital India agenda.
