Not me, sir
Communications Minister A Raja has learnt it’s better to be safe than sorry. After the EGoM meeting on the 3G spectrum auction, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee was surrounded by journalists. He refused to make any comment and then turned towards Raja and said, “Nobody should talk to the press about this meeting.” Even before Mukherjee could finish, Raja waved his hands and said, “Sir, I am not saying anything. I am not saying anything.” A few days ago, Mukherjee had summoned Raja and told him not to talk to the press about the 3G issue and to ensure that no inter-ministerial communication related to the 3G auction was leaked from his office — letters from Mukherjee to Raja and vice versa have all been leaked to the press in recent weeks.
