Jailed former telecom minister A Raja on Wednesday told a Delhi court that he would get prime minister Manmohan Singh, then finance minister P Chidambaram and present telecom minister Kapil Sibal summoned as witnesses to prove government did not incur any loss in the 2G allocation.

"Aaj main bata dena chahta hu ki main prime minister, tabke finance minister or vartman ke telecom minister ko battor gawah banaunga (Today, I want to state that I would get the prime minister, the then finance minister and the present telecom minister summoned as witnesses)," senior advocate Sushil Kumar, appearing for Raja, told special CBI Judge O P Saini.

The moment it is established that there was no loss to the state exchequer, the whole case of cheating and conspiracy in the spectrum allocation will go, he said, claiming that the prime minister and two other ministers would be able to establish that.

He said Raja would move an application under section 91 of the CrPC for getting certain documents from the CBI which had so far not been brought before the court.

The defence counsel also raised the issue of offloading of equity by Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd and Unitech (Tamil Nadu) Wireless Pvt Ltd to Dubai-based Etisalat and Norway-based Telenor respectively and maintained that there was no criminality involved in those transactions.

"First of all there was no sale of licences, then the offloading of equities was within the limit of 74 per cent. Moreover, the transactions were cleared at the highest level (the Foreign Investment Promotion Board)," he said.

DMK MP Kanimozhi, earlier while opposing framing of charges against her, too had sought to drag the prime minister in the 2G case expressing her intention to make him a witness.

"If the trial goes on (against me), I would summon the prime minister as a witness," she had submitted through her lawyer Kumar, who is also representing Raja in the case.

Seeking to demolish the CBI allegation that a huge loss has been caused to the state exchequer due to various acts of omission and commission by various accused, including Raja and Kanimozhi, Kumar had yesterday contended that the prime minister had told Parliament that no loss was incurred to the exchequer in allocation of the 2G spectrum licences.

"The moment, the loss factor goes out, the charge of cheating also goes out," Kumar had said, adding, "The prime minister, the then finance minister (P Chidambaram) and the present telecom minister (Kapil Sibal) have told the House i.e. the people of India that no loss has been caused as 2G licences were not to be auctioned."

Kanimozhi had also rubbished the CAG's estimation of a presumptive loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore and CBI's computation of Rs 30,984 crore loss in the case.
