Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

 

The Polit Bureau welcomes the judgment of the Supreme Court to cancel the 122 2G licences given to telecom companies holding it as unconstitutional. The judgment is a strong indictment of the UPA government and in particular the present telecom minister who has consistently refused to cancel the licences and held that there has been no revenue loss. Kapil Sibal should resign forthwith.

 

In the light of the judgment, the Prime Minister is duty bound to break his silence and answer to the country. The CPI(M) demands that the government immediately implement the judgment. 2G Spectrum should be auctioned afresh and the first come first served policy scrapped.
