2G Verdict: Sibal Must Go

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) issued the following statement on February 2, 2012.

THE Polit Bureau welcomes the judgement of the Supreme Court to cancel the 122 2G licences given to telecom companies holding it as unconstitutional. The judgement is a strong indictment of the UPA government and in particular the present telecom minister who has consistently refused to cancel the licences and held that there has been no revenue loss. Kapil Sibal should resign forthwith.

In the light of the judgement, the prime minister is duty bound to break his silence and answer to the country. The CPI(M) demands that the government immediately implement the judgement.
