Raja rejects ED charge against stalin

Chennai: Former union minister and prime accused in the 2G case A Raja on Tuesday termed as ‘cooked up story’ the chargesheet filed by Enforcement Directorate referring to the alleged role of DMK Treasurer MK Stalin in the scam. Speaking to reporters at the airport here, Raja referred to the chargesheet which mentioned a meeting between Stalin and Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd promoter Shahid Usman Balwa and said, “No such meeting took place between Stalin and Balwa at no point of time. It is a cooked up story. It is a story created by the ED.”

Raja also wondered why the ED was now coming up with such a claim about Stalin’s meeting with Balwa. He further contended that the statements were not valid since Batcha is no more.
