Enough has been said about the Nira Radia tapes. What is baffling is the “pro-active” media, both print and Television going slow on exposing the involvement of Journalists in the 2G scam. It is very interesting to hear Vir Sanghvi talking to Nira Radia and helping her to fix the message for Mukesh. Barkha dutt’s self righteous messaging on TV shows also falls apart. I challenge the TV channels to play the recordings to show that they really stand for the “ Truth” not only the truth they are comfortable with.
Coming to the 2G scam itself I think successive governments have played around with the policy leading to huge losses to the exchequer. But what A.Raja has done is the mother of all scams. What he has done in broad is galling. It is possible only in India. Impossible to believe that no one in the Govt knew.
The scam / corruption count is around 150k crores (75 2G + 75 CWG). So much work for the CVC to investigate, who himself is under investigation. Totally confusing on how we run the country.
Even more shameful in the Adarsh housing scam, it shows our utter lack of respect for folks who defend the country.
