NEW DELHI: The BJP on Monday criticised solicitor general Gopal Subramaniam's attempts to get officials of CBI and ED to attend a strategy session with the counsel for A Raja even as they were investigating the former telecom minister's role in the 2G spectrum scam.
Reacting to TOI reports, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley told reporters, "If such a meeting has indeed been held, it establishes that an effort was made for a cover-up. Department of telecommunication (DoT) was the department being investigated, Raja, the minister being investigated and CBI was the investigating agency. How can the investigative agency and the accused have a common strategy session?"
The 2G spectrum case is pending before the Supreme Court, where the court is hearing a PIL petition accusing government agencies like the CBI and ED of inaction in probing the corruption charges against Raja.
On Saturday, TOI reported that the solicitor general did not see anything wrong in trying to get CBI and ED officials to have a joint strategy meeting with Raja's counsel.
