New Delhi, Sep 2 (IANS) Former finance minister Jaswant Singh Friday said that though he had got no notice from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), he would ‘fully cooperate’ with the agency.
‘I am very glad that the CBI is performing its duties. I will cooperate with them fully to the extent that my recollection of the events and competence permit me,’ Singh told reporters outside Parliament. ‘But as far as letting me know or writing to me that they intend to question me goes, neither the government nor the CBI has (yet).’
When asked whether he was being targeted by the government, Singh said: ‘I don?t wish to comment on the government?s nefarious or devious ways; let them do whatever they wish to do.?
The CBI told the Supreme Court Thursday that it ‘may examine’ Singh over alleged wrongdoings in the communications ministry in the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government. Singh headed the empowered group of ministers (EGOM) when Arun Shourie was the communications minister between 2003 and 2004.
