The CBI today questioned former telecom minister Arun Shourie for three hours at its New Delhi headquarters in connection with the 2G spectrum case. Shourie said he had presented to the CBI the facts of the case and even introduced to the agency to the person who had given all the details about the scam and its alleged actors.

When asked about Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement on coalition politics, Shourie said, "Now that Raja has been put in jail, has any consequence followed for the coalition. Why not look at the compulsions of the DMK? They cannot go against the central government. See their compulsions as well."
