Jaswant Singh ready for probe in 2G scam case
Earlier in the day, certain media reports had pointed at the possibility of Singh being 'grilled' by the CBI as part of the investigation into the multi-billion dollar telecom scam case, sparking an intense outcry from the BJP.
On Thursday, the BJP had openly challenged the Central government to probe all telecom allocations undertaken by the National Democratic Alliance regime since 1998, while slamming the CBI move as an example of its 'rank double standards'.
However, a confident Singh told mediapersons in New Delhi that he was ready to cooperate with the CBI probe to the best of his ability.
"I have read some newspaper accounts, which picturesquely describes the matter saying that I am going to be grilled by the CBI. Now, I do not know whether I will be roasted or grilled or toasted, but irrespective of what that is, I am very glad that the CBI is performing its duty. I will cooperate with them fully," Singh said.
"To the extent that my recollection of the events as also my ability and competence permits me, I will cooperate with them fully," he added.
He further maintained that he had not received any communication from the Central government or the CBI, informing him of the possible interrogation.
"I will cooperate with them fully. But as far as writing to me or letting me know that they intend doing such thing, neither the government nor the Central Bureau of Investigation has informed me at all about this matter. When they do, I will react," Singh said.
