Tata, Radia to appear before PAC tomorrow

Industrialist Ratan Tata and corporate lobbyist Niira Radia are scheduled to appear before Parliament's Public Accounts Committee tomorrow in connection with the alleged irregularities in the allocation of 2G spectrum.
Radia, whose tapped phone conversations with politicians, corporates, bureaucrats, and journalists, form a key part of investigations into the 2G spectrum scam, will appear before the panel at 11 AM tomorrow.
The panel, headed by senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi, is expected to quiz Radia on the tapped conversations which include allegations of trying to influence portfolio allocation to ministers in UPA-II government.
Radia, chairperson of Vaishnavi Corporate Communications, is heard making efforts to ensure that DMK leader A Raja gets the Telecom portfolio. Raja is now in jail in connection with the 2G spectrum allocation scam.
Tata is scheduled to appear before the PAC at 3 PM.
