CHENNAI: Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy Monday alleged that union Home Minister P. Chidambaram is involved in the 2G spectrum allocation scam and would seek the prime minister’s sanction to prosecute him.”I will seek the prime minister’s sanction to prosecute Chidambaram. I will also seek the sanction of the prime minister for the prosecution of (Congress president) Sonia Gandhi, heading the National Advisory Council (NAC), for corruption,” Swamy said.He said a cabinet committee had directed former communications minister A. Raja and the then finance minister, Chidambaram, to arrive at the price at which the 2G radio waves were to be sold.The then home minister, Shivraj Patil, had prepared a report against allocating spectrum to Swan Telecom and Unitech on security reasons, he added.Swami alleged that after becoming the home minister, Chidambaram did not pass the information to Raja.He declined to say what was the basis of his seeking the prime minister’s permission to prosecute Gandhi.Swamy claimed that Robert Vadra, Gandhi’s son-in-law, had 20 percent stake in Unitech.
