New Delhi: Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging a Delhi Court's decision to dismiss his plea to make Union Home Minister P Chidambaram as a co-accused in the 2G scam.
Earlier, Swamy told a "Meet-The-Press" programme that in his 70-para verdict delivered early this month, the trial court judge had agreed with him in 65 paras.
Swamy has alleged that Chidambaram was equally culpable like former Telecom Minister A Raja as he also had a role in deciding the spectrum pricing and allowing telecom companies to off-load shares to foreign firms.
However, his appeal was dismissed as the trial court felt that he was unable to prove criminality on the part of Chidambaram, the then finance minister, Swamy said.
He maintained that he can prove this criminality only when Chidambaran is forced to undergo a cross-examination.
Meanwhile attacking the Nehru-Gandhi family, Swamy said that the time had come to free the Congress from the clutches of the family.
He said that the Nehru-Gandhi family has produced only one good leader and he was Rajiv Gandhi.
He said he did not recognise Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul as political leaders in their own right.
