UPA is sinking deeper and deeper into mire on the 2G case. It is now clear that the then Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram had indeed given his concurrence to pegging the license fees for 2G in 2008 to 2001 level. This is the core of the 2G scam that has led to a huge loss to the exchequer. It is not, as Kapil Sibal, the current Minister of Communications & IT would have us believe that the scam is merely of procedural violations in award of the licenses. In Kapil Sibal's scheme, there has been “no loss” to the exchequer, a claim repeated ad naseum by him and the Congress spokespersons; only some lapse in which some people jumped the queue and got licenses in preference to others.
