Former PM Manmohan Singh on the 2G scam verdict: "The court judgement has to be respected. I'm glad that the court has pronounced that the massive propaganda against UPA was without any foundation."

The former PM's image was battered in the the wake of the 2G scam. In February 2011, Singh had said that "coalition compulsions" had forced him to make compromises.


"Raja 'was the choice of the DMK and I had no reason to feel that anything seriously wrong has been done. I did not feel that I had the authority to object to Raja's entry although complaints were coming from some companies who were not benefited. I was not in a position to make up my mind," Singh had said in 2011.
