Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi’s daughter Kanimozhi on Friday (February 18) said she has not received any summons from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing the 2G spectrum allocation scam. “I haven’t got anything of that kind,” theDMK Rajya Sabha MP said in Chennai when asked about reports that CBI may question her as part of its ongoing probe into the scam in which former Union Telecom Minister A Raja has been arrested.
Asked about CBI searches at the office of DMK-backed Kalaignar TV, she said she was not aware of it. She refused to comment when asked if the latest development would affect DMK-Congress seat-sharing talks. The CBI had earlier in the day carried out searches in the offices and residences of the top management of Kalaignar TV.

Fresh transcripts of corporate lobbyist Nira Radia‘s conversations with former telecom minister A. Raja and DMK supremo M Karunanidhi’s daughter and Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhiobtained by India Today reveal a plot the three hatched to mislead the leader.
| A conversation between Radia and Raja at 1.42 am on May 22, 2009 – when the Congress and the DMK were in the thick of negotiations over cabinet berths – had the two panning former Union ministers Dayanidhi Maran and T. R. Baalu, and dismissing Karunanidhi as a “senile” man who’s “not going to be around any longer”. “Someone should give a message in a sealed cover that we have a serious problem with Baalu,” says Raja. “From the Congress, right?” Radia asks. When Raja answers in the affirmative, she says, “Okay. I will tell her. She [NDTVgroup editor Barkha Dutt] is talking to Ahmed Patel [the political secretary to Sonia Gandhi]. I will talk to her.” Launching a tirade against Maran, Raja says: “Maran is not fit for infrastructure. He is having controversy.” A few hours later, Radia calls Raja again and tells him she had told the Congress that it was Kanimozhi and not Maran who would represent Karunanidhi for talks on portfolio distribution. “They [Congress] are saying that they will not give infrastructure to Baalu and Maran,” said a triumphant Radia. The following day she calls to inform Raja that he should tell M. K. Alagiri (another son of Karunanidhi and the present Union minister for chemicals and fertilisers) about the smear campaign Maran had launched against him. “Who planted in the mind of the Congress that Alagiri doesn’t know English?” asks Raja. “Not only that but he [Maran] and Stalin tomorrow will be the only one to run the party because the old man is senile and he is not going to be around any longer,” Radia replies. ‘Mom will mess it up’ Radia was simultaneously in talks with Kanimozhi to secure the telecom portfolio for Raja. “They relayed it to your father yesterday that they don’t want to give infrastructure to Baalu or Maran,” Radia says in a call on May 22, at 10.45 am. The PM, Radia says, had conveyed this to Karunanidhi. Kanimozhi denies this and says someone senior should convey the news to her and not her mom. “Please don’t tell it to Mom. She will mess it up. Ask Ghulam [Nabi Azad] to call me,” Kanimozhi says. |

.‘Kanimozhi – Raja’ Affair gathers Steam
Now that Kanimozhi too seems to be involved in the 2G Scam, the city is buzzing with the ‘Kanimozhi-Raja’ love affair. It is an open secret that Mr.Karunanidhi’s daughter –Kanimozhi and the 2G scam tainted Raja are having an affair. This has been widely reported in the local Tamil press. This is also the reason why Karunanidhi’s son had that infamous fight with Raja at the Delhi airport questioning him about his relationship withKanimozhi – despite being married. In fact the ‘affair’ finds mention in Radia – Tata phone conversation
Kanimozhi married Athiban Bose in 1989 and later divorced him and got married the second time to G.Aravindan and then divorced him too!
2.3. 11-188819-0-11-20090620-115901: Radia speaks to her colleague Manoj Warrier
A month after the cabinet formation, it is business as usual. They discuss an “income taxmatter” for a client who has told them “We are in a fight. Hum logo ke survival ka sawaal hai”. Her client was unhappy that Radia & Co had not briefed journalists well. After all, she says “aisa to nahin…ki Raja ne samjahaya nahin hoga income tax ka implication.” What was the “implication”?

Not just Raja, the tapes have Radia talking to DMK chief M. Karunanidhi’s daughterKanimozhi as well. The conversations, which were recorded by investigators for the income tax department, raise serious issues about ministerial propriety. The income tax sleuths had sought permission to tap the telephone of Radia, who was being investigated by the CBI and the income tax department in the telecom spectrum scam. These conversations were recorded of one year, starting from August 20, 2008. Raja was lobbying hard to become the next telecom minister and was being helped in this endeavour by Radia. The tapes led to accusations of misconduct by many of these people. Leading journalists in India were heard on the tapes acceding to requests from lobbyists to fix stories and run scripted interviews with politicians. The Central Bureau of Investigationhas announced that they have 5,851 recordings of phone conversations by Radia, some of which outline Radia’s attempts to broker deals in relation to the 2G spectrum sale. The tapes appear to demonstrate how Radia attempted to use some media persons to influence the decision to appoint A. Raja as telecom minister. The original tapes are now annexures in a Supreme Court petition seeking Raja’s prosecution. The opposition parties in India have demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the 2G spectrum scam, which could also to be extended to include a probe into the Radia tapes to ascertain the media’s role in the controversy. The Government is also accused of selectively releasing merely 10 hours of the 2000 hours recorded of the Radia tapes. Home MinisterP.Chidambaram expressed himself against leakage of telephone conversations tapped for investigations but felt “some of it is inevitable”.
