In the recorded conversations between Nira Radia and prominent figures several prominent figures are heard in conversation with Radia:Ī. The Central Bureau of Investigation has announced that they have 5,851 recordings of phone conversations by Radia in relation to the 2G spectrum sale. In November 2010, OPEN magazine carried a story which reported transcripts of some of the telephone conversations of Niira Radia with senior journalists, politicians, and corporate houses, many of whom have denied the allegations. and requests for information under the Right to Information Act' Niira Radia runs a public relations firm named Vaishnavi Communications, whose clients include Ratan Tata's Tata Group and Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries.Īfter getting authorization from the Home Ministry, the Indian Income Tax department tapped Radia's phone lines for 300 daysĪ Hindi web portal Bhadas4media took up this story as early as May 2010 when on, the first Article was published. The tapes led to accusations of misconduct. He has held on to the MoU and said, 'Okay, this had to be implemented.' But he has forgotten what's good, that's why it raises a bigger constitutional issue.The Radia tapes controversy relates to the taped and released telephonic conversations between Nira Radia and politicians, corporates and industrialists, officials, bureaucrats, aides and journalists that were taped by the Indian Income Tax Department in 2008-09. I mean you'll have to attack the judge here because the judge has, what he's done, he's given preference to an MoU. But you want to say that you know, more importantly that here a family MoU has taken precedence over national interest, and what the judge has done. You cannot have a tribunal deciding on this. RADIA: The point I'm making is that here, the point is limited to the fact that you cannot have a High Court deciding on this. VIR: So, what point do you want me to make? RADIA: You see, because a resource has been allocated to Mukesh in this case. RADIA: But there you will be attacking Mukesh only, no.
Therefore the only way Manmohan Singh hopes to survive is to get a handle on the resources and have some kind of way of allocating them that is transparent, fair and perhaps done by him. The people, because the system is so corrupt and open to manipulation, by manipulating the system, by not paying anybody you can get hands on resources. RADIA: Anil Ambani is getting the benefit without spending a cent on it. RADIA: Yeah, but Vir, you have to keep in mind that he has been given the gas field by the Government to operate. That's how the message for this five years of Manmohan Singh should be-that you have to put an end to this kind of allocations of scarce resources on the basis of corruption and arbitrariness at the cost of the country, otherwise the country will not forgive you. It shouldn't just benefit the few fat cats. The fact that there has been so much Narega, that Sonia has committed to including everybody, that it should be inclusive growth. VIR: So I will link it to the election verdict. RADIA: I think we need to say that you know it's a lesson for the corporate world that, you know, they need to think through whenever they want to look at this, whether they really seriously do give back to society.
That message we will get across, but what other points do we need to make?
