2G scam: Rajnath Singh demands widening of probe

RAIPUR: Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) president Rajnath Singh on Wednesday demanded widening of the scope of a probe into prosecutor-accused collusion in the 2G spectrum scam case saying he suspected involvement of more influential people.

"A detailed probe is needed to find out who all were behind revealing the prosecution strategy with one of the accused. Even there may be some ministers and officers", he said at a press conference on his arrival here in Chhattisgarh to attend a meeting of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha( BJYM).

Referring to the controversy over alleged corruption in purchase of helicopters from Italian firm Finmeccanica, BJP chief said although defence minister A K Anthony had ordered an inquiry into the complaints of corruption, it's the Italian agencies that had taken prompt action while the probe by Indian agencies did not progress.

To a question that the initial process for the purchase of helicopters from the Italian firm was carried out during the previous NDA regime, Singh quipped "Let there be an inquiry. The facts will come out".
