There is \u201centirely wrong impression that I was blocking the agreement on a JPC. I have always said my conduct should be, like Caesar\u2019s wife, above suspicion\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Manmohan Singh clarified that former communications minister A. Raja decided on the allocation of 2G spectrum licences in 2008 on the basis of past telecom policies and the issue was \u201cnever brought to me or the cabinet\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn allocation of 2G spectrum, the issue of licences was never brought to me or the cabinet. That was the decision of the (then communication) minister,\u201d he said, adding that Raja had assured him of \u201ccomplete transparency\u201d on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister was responding to a question on the first-come-first-served policy of granting 2G spectrum licences that Raja had adopted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wrote a letter to Raja on Nov 2, 2007. I listed a number of issues that you must look into and (ensure) they are dealt (with) in (an) equitable, fair and transparent manner. One of the issues that I asked him to look into was the possibility from the legal and technical angle of having an auction of spectrum,\u201d Manmohan Singh said.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming budget will see reforms, the prime minister said, stressing that the government has its economic agenda in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe economic agenda is there. There is the food security bill, the Right to Education (RTE) Act is now a reality, the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) reform is a reality, there have been reforms in the National Rural Health Mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same way we are going to have a fresh wave in infrastructure investment with the help of the new Public Private Partnership model. These are not big reforms and I hope in the current budget you will see the reform agenda that our government has,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The budget will be presented Feb 28.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister said the government will not give up on the face of difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have not given up. We will persist. There are difficulties particularly when parliament is not allowed to function,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Manmohan Singh listed stabilisation of Indian economy during the global meltdown as the biggest achievement of his government but mentioned the series of corruption scams as the greatest regret of his tenure.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether he hoped parliament would function normally in the upcoming budget session as the opposition was adamant on a JPC, Manmohan Singh said: \u201cWe are making all efforts to deal with the issues. We hope for a solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said whatever the domestic weaknesses, \u201cwe should not create an atmosphere where the country loses confidence as the world really marvels at India\u2019s growth and its functioning democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He also appealed to the media to report things factually and objectively and not create a perception that \u201cnothing good is happening in the country\u201d in a way that it erodes the \u201cself-confidence of the people of India\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Declaring that he \u201chad a job to do and was not quitting\u201d, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Wednesday responded to questions on corruption and other issues confronting his 21-month-old United Progressive Alliance (UPA) II government, announced that \u201cwrongdoers will not escape\u201d and added that the country will witness the next round of economic reforms soon. \u201cYou [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[2205,2155,2204],"class_list":["post-8940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-escape","tag-prime-minister-manmohan-singh","tag-wrongdoers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Have a job to do, wrongdoers will not escape: Manmohan Singh  - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Declaring that he \u201chad a job to do and was not quitting\u201d, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Wednesday responded to questions on corruption and other issues - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
