New Delhi: The CBI on Wednesday told a special court hearing the 2G spectrum allocation case that former telecom minister A. Raja misled then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the allocation and has a "habit" of making false statements.
Special public prosecutor Anand Grover told Special Judge OP Saini that Raja had "deliberately" told incorrect facts to Manmohan Singh on policy issues.
He said Raja has a habit of making false statements. He even misled the then prime minister, and with a stroke of a pen changed the cut-off date for receiving applications from firms seeking 2G licences, the prosecutor submitted.
The court was hearing final arguments in the case which will continue on Thursday.
According to the CBI, Raja was biased in allocating 2G mobile airwaves and operating licences to telecom firms, causing huge loss to the state exchequer.
All the accused, including Raja, are out on bail.
