Now, 'scam' reported in allotment of spectrum by ISRO

Terming as "very serious" reports alleging that ISRO benefited a private firm through allocation of scarce S-band spectrum without a bidding process, Left parties on Monday demanded a thorough probe into the "new scam".

"This is a new issue. The ISRO is under the department of space which is under Prime Minister ( Manmohan Singh). This is also a new scam," CPM politburo member Sitaram Yechury told reporters here.

CPI national secretary D Raja said the new revelations were "very serious", a view echoed by senior RSP leader Abani Roy who demanded a JPC into the matter.

Media reports claimed that the Comptroller and Auditor General has initiated inquiries into ISRO's agreement with a Bangalore-based firm for launch of two satellites besides allegedly providing 70 MHz of S-band spectrum for a period of 20 years without going through a bidding process.

The report quoted the preliminary CAG estimates that the spectrum allocation could have caused the exchequer a loss in excess of Rs two lakh crore.

"The revelations have added a new dimension to the 2G spectrum scam. The ISRO is directly under the control of department of space headed by the Prime Minister. It is very serious as ISRO deals with space and it has implications on our security," Raja said.

He said the issue will be discussed among the four Left parties.

Roy said the Left will "definitely" demand inclusion of the "new scam" in the ambit of JPC. "Whether it should be a separate JPC or it should be incorporated in the 2G spectrum issue has to be studied," he said.

I am sure there is something coming up with the political industry running our nation. There is a lot of finger pointing and believe me there is something coming out in the shadow as well.


On an entirely new view would all this be a path to bring Rahul Gandhi to the forefront claiming the other big leaders are scam driven. Cause he had mentioned in some media that he is working and will bring corruption to end within the 10 years.

Could be that Sonia is planning a huge ideology by bringing all the scams to the front during the congress regime and RAHUL the saviour who will get rid of all those. again my view.

On Topic: ISRO is a reputed organisation and yes there could be a insider among who could have made this possible. The insider is no way a small guy(should be a big fish) Else this whitlse blowing thing would not have got delayed so long.

Surely Manmohan is directly involved or he is too pathetic for a silent creature.

If there were to be a bribing industry. i am sure that would be scam free.

 

[Skull and Bones]

So, how many of you are voting for Congress this time??
They crossed every limit of corruption, and our PM might be busy doing household chores in Sonia Gandhi's home.

lol The satellite not even launched and they are accusing of scam!!!! Strange!

 

[true_indian]

I see one good thing in all of this. These days more and more scams are coming out in public view. This would send a strong message to politicians who wants to get elected. Political corruption is not easy anymore. This can't be a bad news, is it?

I think the kind of thing going on is i pull ur leg and you pull mine , eventually both go down. the question would be who is going to come next.. the major problem is the population of India will forget things soon. its becoming more and more mechanical life you see.
