Coming down heavily on JPC Chairman PC Chacko, 2G scam accused A.Raja on Wednesday urged lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar to return the panel’s report and demanded issuance of directions to include his version. Terming the report as a “half baked one” and, Raja accused Chacko of “cowardice act to prevent truth from coming out.”
“I had requested that I should be called as a witness to the JPC to tender my evidence. Thereafter, I also took up the matter with the JPC Chairman. Unfortunately, despite my several requests - and the requests of several members of the JPC - the Chairman refused to permit me to depose before the Committee”.
“I had thereafter submitted a detailed written statement, in which I had specifically expressed that ‘I trust that it will be a part of the report to be given’. My trust could not have been breached in a worse manner. Indeed, the final report of the JPC does not even mention my written statement. Thus, the JPC that was to bring out the truth, has chosen to hide behind falsehoods”, Raja alleged in his letter to the Speaker.
