The 2G Scam is again haunting another Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran from DMK quota at the Centre. There is an allegation against him that his family Sun TV Network was beneficiary of pay-offs by a Malaysian Company which benefited from equity sold by Aircel. This allegation against him is of during the period before 2009 when was the Telecom Minister.
The main accused in the 2G Scam of 1.76 lakh rupees is former Telecom minister A Raza who has already been cooling his heels in Tihar Jail in Delhi.
It is co-incidence that A Raza was minister in UPA Government from DMK. DMK MP and daughter of former Tamil Nadu CM and Party supremo Karunanidhi is also undergoing imprisonment for her alleged involvement in 2G Scam. Now Maran has also come in line of fire of 2G Scam.
If the defence of the scam tainted Kanimozhi MP and former Union Telecom Minister A Raza is anything to go by, there is probability that Maran would also face the same fate.
It appears that the entire Karunanidhi family except his sons Stalin and Alagiri, all who are in national politics, are allegedly involved in 2 G Scam.
This is the biggest scam of Independent India. So, it has become the centre of attraction all over the nation and not only confined to Tamil Nadu.
2G Scam has played a major role in the defeat of DMK in the recently conclude assembly elections. DMK and its political allies have been badly thrashed by their opponent AIADM supremo Jaylalithha and her political allies.Former TN CM and veteran sothern politician Karunanidhi was thrown out of power. Congress is the larger partner of DMK in the UPA at the Centre. But when charges of corruption are slapped against the DMK ministers, the party keeps itself mum and let the law to take its own course. It is the right approach adopted by the Congress party. And even Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh does not hesitate from dropping the tainted ministers under pressure.
Though the DMK is on the wickest wicket right now, Dayanidhi Maran may be dropped from Union Cabinet if pressure mounts on PM.
