NDTV Correspondent, July 8, 2011, (New Delhi).
Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal has described as “malicious, motivated and defamatory” media reports and a Public Interest Litigation that suggest he bent the rules to help Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications.
A petition submitted by advocate Prashant Bhushan and his NGO, the Centre for Public Interest Litigation, said that instead of penalizing Mr Ambani Rs.s. 650 crore for a contract allegedly violated by him, Mr Sibal has asked for Rs. 5 crore. Mr Sibal said the PIL was being used to “settle personal scores.
In May 2007, Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications (RCom) signed on to provide rural telephony. Companies are entitled to seek a subsidy from the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) for operating in rural sectors. Mr Sibal said that Reliance did not seek this subsidy. The government is obliged to select the operator that asks for the least subsidy. Mr Ambani therefore won the rights.

Well, now that he has started defending himself of 'nil-corruption' in this issue - like he said 'Zero-Loss' to the exchequer as soon as he assumed charge of Telecom Minister, succeeding A. Raja - let him explain, why he waived Rs. 645/- Crores penalty against the collective decision of the DoT Officials.
