NEW DELHI: Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister in the two United Progressive Alliance governments (2004-2014) was “unjust” and “wrong’ in keeping quiet when sacked telecom minister A Raja was held responsible for the 2G telecom licence allocation scandal.And ex-Comptroller and Auditor General, Vinod Rai , now head of the Bank Board Bureau, was part of an “international conspiracy to destabilize the UPA government”.These and under claims, which are bound to reopen political battles on the 2G scandal, have been made by Raja in his book, In My Defense, being published next month. ET has reviewed several chapters of the book, material that’s unpublished in the media so far. Some news outlets had previewed Raja’s broad arguments, but ET gained access to the ex-minister’s detailed accusations against several public figures.Briefly, the 2G scandal centred around misallocation of 122 telecom licences in 2008 and attendant charges of favouritism and bribery. A Supreme Court bench had cancelled all 122 licences in 2012. Raja and several others were investigated by CBI. Raja made his own arguments in the special court, concluding in February this year.Raja says ex-PM Singh had "lost the mental strength to stand straight against motivated accusations and noisy media" and was being “misled” by his colleagues, some working in his own office.Raja writes: "…the unilateral and interrupted falsehood repeatedly spread by institutions as if I misled the PM was no doubt an injustice done to me. But the greater injustice done to me is the silence on the part of the office of the Prime Minister in not expressing his view on this issue and the failure on the part of the constitutional institutions in not making any effort to ascertain from the Prime minister himself.""The way in which the Prime Minister conducted himself was not a mistake or a crime…The support and protection he gave me in the spectrum allocation were absolutely right as per law. My anguish is that the government headed by him did not come forward to say that. His personality also figures in that anguish", Raja says.Raja devotes three chapters of his book to Rai and CAG . "Mr Rai the individual by himself would not have had the dynamism to derail the responsible and trustworthy judiciary. It was only his constitutional office that gave him that strength. Rai is the symbol of "abuse of power" and the possibility of foreign and inland 'conspiracy network cannot be ruled out here”, Raja writes.On the famous CAG report on 2G licences that started a media firestorm, Raja writes: “Mr Rai's report in the garb of CAG is nothing but a caveman's voice not conforming to any legal pattern. His is an adventurism that makes constitutional value a mockery.”Raja says "TKA Nair, principal secretary to the PM, came to house twice to discuss the issue (licence allocation) in its entirety. He expressed his concern…and (said) that care should be taken to avoid giving fodder to media. He was keeping track of the actions taken in the ministry through officials of the department. It can be seen from the files that on certain occasions the copies of the documents have been sent to him by the Secretary (Telecom). "Raja goes on to allege PM’s own officials did not appraise him of such meetings. Raja also talks about a meeting held on November 20, 2007 at the cabinet secretariat. Nair was present the ex-minister says, and issues regarding allocation of spectrum, TRAI recommendations and follow up actions were extensively discussed. "No doubts were raised, no new suggestions were given either," Raja writes.Raja says in a meeting at Pranab Mukherjee's house in July 2012 in the presence of the then telecom minister Kapil Sibal, law minister Salman Khurshid, MoS (PMO) Narayanasamy and DMK’s TR Baalu, he (Raja) had said ministers were not defending him, despite knowing "the truth."Raja also claims in his book that the former finance minister Mukherjee had called a meeting with him and solicitor general which was denied by the CBI, and that they should have defended him on that at least. Raja writes that he told leaders in that meeting that "while they may think there is nothing wrong in sending one individual to jail to save the government, they would end up sacrificing the government itself.""I poured out all my emotions. Baalu was pacifying me. After that we were there for almost 10 minutes. They were enquiring me about how the case was proceeding in the court. Putting his hands on my shoulder, Mr Pranab Mukherjee said, let bygones be bygones…We came out with the satisfaction that of having poured our anguish", Raja writes.Offices of Pranab Mukherjee and Manmohan Singh did not respond to queries. Vinod Rai said “he had no wish to respond” to Raja. TKA Nair said he did not wish to comment at this point.
