New Delhi: The “massive propaganda” against the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) on 2G spectrum was without any foundation, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Thursday after a special court acquitted all accused in the spectrum scam case.

The judgement speaks for itself, Manmohan Singh said. “I do not want to boast (about) anything. The court’s judgement has to be respected. I am glad that the court has pronounced unambiguously. All the massive propaganda which was being done against the UPA was without any foundation. The judgement speaks for itself,” Singh said.

A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Thursday acquitted all accused in the 2008 2G spectrum allocation scam, including Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leaders A. Raja and Kanimozhi.
