Reacting to a Delhi court acquitting all accused in the 2G scam case, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the judgment spoke for itself.
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, reacting to the 2G scam verdict, said the "judgment speak(s) in itself." Singh, whose credibility had come under doubt over the scams unearthed during the UPA II rule, said there was a "vicious campaign and propaganda" launched against his government back then.
"Today court has taken an unanimous decision over this issue," Singh added.
Earlier today, Delhi's Patiala House Court acquitted all of the accused in the high-profile 2G scam case, a fraud ranked by the Time magazine as the world's second-biggest abuse of power.
According to an estimate prepared by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, the scam caused a notional loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore to the Indian exchequer. Then Telecom Minister A Raja was the prime accused in the 2G scam case.
Following the verdict today, the Congress has gone on the offensive, saying it is a moral and legal victory for them and that those who had raised accusations against the UPA government should apologise.
