Nripendra Misra was TRAI chief when it allowed 2G scam to take place
The BJP government’s choice for the post of Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister is highly questionable and unethical, since Mr Nripendra Misra was the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) chief, when it was indicted by the Supreme Court for its role in the multi-crore 2G spectrum scam.
It is shocking that the Narendra Modi government is hell bent on changing the law to facilitate the appointment of a controversial individual, who headed the telecom regulator at a time (in 2007) when one of the biggest scams in India’s history took place, and none other than the Supreme Court held the TRAI also responsible for the scam in its judgment delivered on February 2, 2012.
With this revelation, the Aam Aadmi Party, which has already opposed the introduction of the TRAI amendment bill in the Lok Sabha on Friday, appeals to all political parties to rise above political considerations and object to the government’s intent of subverting the impartiality of regulators in different sectors, when this bill will be taken up for consideration and passing in both Houses of Parliament.
