President of India,

Dear Madam,

Considering the unjustified, unpardonable, abnormal & criminal delay on the part of Dr Manmohan Singh, UPA Govt Prime Minister on taking decision on permitting prosecution of Mr A Raja Union Minister in 2G Scam  and also considering the pressing need to avoid repetition of such sinister happening not being in larger public interest, you are hereby requested to kindly sack all Union Ministers sitting for more than 3 months on the CVC / CBI / ED / other Agencies / Citizens requests to prosecute bureaucrats involved in irregularities / corrupt practices / corruption.

They could be Mr Murli Deora (in case of Mr B M Bansal present Chairman IOC and Mr Sarthak Behuria and Mr M S Ramachandran ex-Chairmen IOC / Petroleum Secretaries Mr S Sundaresan / Mr R S Pandey / Mr M S Srinivasan), Mr Kapil Sibal (in case of then CVO HRD Mr Sunil Kumar). Mr Salman Khuseed (in case of Mr Jitesh Khosla then JS MCA and Mr P D Sudhakar then CVO and Additional Secretary MCA) or any other Union Minister.

Govt need to act fast to stop wide-spread mammoth size corruption to make India a clean and respectable country among world community.

2G scam: SC asks govt to file affidavit by Saturday
18 Nov, 2010 1115hrs IST TNN[ Dhananjay Mahapatra ]

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to file an affidavit on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's silence on Janata Party president Subramaniam Swamy petition by Saturday seeking sanction to prosecute former telecom minister A Raja in the 2G spectrum scam case. 

The Supreme Court asked the Centre to file the affidavit by Saturday and fixed the hearing on Tuesday. 

The apex court also said that showing the files were not enough. It has to say owe the reasons for the delay so that any concealment of fact, the court can fix the accountability. 

The court had on Tuesday asked the government to explain within two days why the "sanctioning authority" — in this case, the Prime Minister — remained silent for 11 long months over a request seeking sanction for the prosecution of former telecom minister A Raja in the 2G spectrum scam case. 

In a reference to PM Manmohan Singh's oversight role, the SC referred to a petition submitted by Subramaniam Swamy to the PM, to say: "We are on the alleged inaction and silence of the sanctioning authority for 11 months on Swamy's petition seeking sanction to prosecute....This what is worrying us." 

An SC bench comprising Justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly hearing the 2G spectrum case asked solicitor general Gopal Subramaniam to examine relevant files before giving his response on Thursday on why it took the government a month short of a year to tell Swamy that prosecution would be "premature" at this stage. 

The SC's remarks came on the same day as the Comptroller and Auditor General's scathing report on the allocation of 2G licences in which CAG has not only indicted Raja but also indirectly referred to an oversight failure of the ex-minister's role by saying "there is an imperative need to fix responsibility and enforce accountability for lapses". 

SC's query on why the PM did not decide either way — whether there was merit in Swamy's petition or not — is likely to harden the Opposition demand for a joint parliamentary committee to probe the alleged scam. This, in turn, may complicate the logjam in Parliament as the government is expected to resist a JPC.
