CHENNAI: (AMN) Centre is all set to probe into the allegations that cabinet secrets were leaked to Corporate Lobbyist Nira Radia by BJP leader Ananth Kumar during the NDA regime.
Talking to media persons here on Monday the union minister of state for Parliamentary Affairs V.Narayanasamy said that the centre would inquire into the allegation that cabinet secrets were leaked by Ananth Kumar to Corporate Lobbyist Nira Radia, during the NDA regime.
Radia’s ex-business partner Dheeraj Singh had alleged that Ananth Kumar, who was minister of Civil Aviation and again Urban Development Minister in the Atal Behari Vajapayee government, had helped her by allotting land to a Trust run by her. He had also said that Kumar had helped Radia by offering her access to confidential files of the cabinet. Speaking to Newsmen in Chennai today, he said if the allegation is true, then it would amount to being an anti-national act and the centre would take action on it.
On the standoff in Parliament on the 2 G Spectrum issue Narayanasamy said the Lok Sabha Speaker Meera Kumar has convened an all party meeting on the 30th of this month, to find a solution to the Logjam. He said the government was ready for a debate on the spectrum issue in parliament but alleged that the opposition parties including the BJP were not interested to go into the truth of the case. Dismissing demands for a JPC to go into the spectrum allocation Narayansamy said going by past experience nothing would come out of such a probe. He said the Public Accounts Committee is more powerful than the JPC and said the government has already committed to support it in its inquiry.
