NEW DELHI: Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday said home minister P Chidambaram should be in jail for his alleged involvement in the 2G spectrum scam.
"The proof against Chidambaram is overwhelming. He should be in jail with A Raja," BJP leader Yashwant Sinha told reporters here.
He also said the prime minister acted on Chidambaram's advice on the 2G spectrum allocation, and his silence showed his approval.
Chidambaram was the finance minister at the time the spectrum was allocated in 2008.
The opposition's demands come after Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday submitted to the Supreme Court documents indicating that Chidambaram was involved in deciding the 2G spectrum price along with jailed former communications minister A Raja.
The documents filed by Swamy include a communication of Jan 30, 2008, by the department of economic affairs of the finance ministry recording the gist of a meeting between Chidambaram and Raja.
