Patna: Senior BJP leader L K Advani on Wednesday demanded that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should immediately respond to Supreme Court's observation on delay in taking a decision on the plea for sanction for prosecution of former Telecom Minister A Raja in the 2G spectrum allocation issue.
"The PM should immediately respond to what the Supreme Court has said on Raja issue," Advani said before leaving for campaigning for last phase of Bihar assembly elections.
"We are demanding a JPC probe into the issue in Parliament and the government should think on it. Corruption should be eliminated from the country," Advani said.
"I don't remember the SC raising a question like this in 60 years of my parliamentary career," he added.
The Supreme Court had on Monday asked some embarrassing questions about the lengthy delay on the part of the Prime Minister in taking a decision on a plea for sanction of prosecution of the former Telecom Minister in the controversial 2G spectrum allocation issue.
"Can the sanctioning authority (Prime Minister in this case) sit on the complaint," a bench of Justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly had asked during a hearing on a petition filed by Janata Party President and former Law Minister Subramaniam Swamy, who had sought sanction for prosecution of Raja.
