No irregularities during my tenure: Jaswant Singh

September 02, 2011 10:54 pm | Updated August 03, 2016 08:33 pm IST - New Delhi:

With the CBI deciding to examine Jaswant Singh in the 2G spectrum allocation scam, the senior BJP leader, who was Finance Minister in the NDA government, on Friday said no irregularities were committed during his tenure.

“No irregularities were committed during my tenure. If someone deliberately digs out and alleges that there is irregularity then I am saddened,” he told reporters outside Parliament, a day after the CBI told the Supreme Court that Mr. Singh would be examined as part of its probe into the scam.

Mr. Singh said he had received no communication from the CBI or from the government about examining him but added that he was “glad” that the agency was performing its duty.

“I will cooperate with them fully. I don't know whether I am going to be roasted, grilled or toasted,” he said.
