The opposition BJP and AIADMK today cornered Home Minister P Chidambaram over his alleged role in the Maxis-Aircel deal. According to the opposition, in 2006, Chidambaram then finance minister gave green signal to the Rs 4,000 crore deal which was “not appropriate”.
Evidencing the today’s newspaper report which shuns government’s claims that Chidambaram did not delayed approval to the sale of Aircel to Malaysia based Maxis the opposition demanded his resignation. According to the report, “while the actual clearance was given on October 3, 2006, the Government on April 28 claimed that FIPB cleared the Maxis acquisition of Aircel on March 7, 2006.”
However, Congress members then started the blame game in the lower assembly, over the death of a farmer allegedly in police firing in Bareli town of Madhya Pradesh yesterday. This ruckus coereced speaker Miera Kumar to adjourn the session till noon. Similar din was witnessed in upper house as BJP and AIADMK members displayed the copies of newspaper reporting Chidambaram’s involvement in the deal.
