New Delhi, Nov 12 : Stating that requisite norms were followed in allocation of 2G spectrum, Telecom Minister A Raja today said there was no question of him resigning.
Maintaining that no rules were violated in the allocation of the 2G spectrum licence, the Minister, speaking on the sidelines of a function here said, ''I only followed the rules and the telecom policy fixed by the Cabinet in 1999. I am ready for an inquiry.'' Under pressure to step down following allegations of corruption in the 2G spectrum case and his indictment by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), Mr Raja Said, ''I have not seen CAG report yet. It is not tabled in Parliament. There is a procedure and investigation is on into the matter. It may not be fair of me to comment on it.'' Ruling out his resignation on the issue, he said, ''There is no question of my resignation as 2G spectrum case is sub-judice.'' Asked to comment on AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa's open offer for support to the UPA, Raja said, ''She is trying to save her own skin, she is facing corruption charges herself. She has no moral right to offer support to the UPA.'' Raja is under fire for alleged irregularities in allotment of 2G spectrum in 2008.
The Opposition has been disrupting Parliament demanding that Raja be sacked.
