2G scam: Opposition targets PM over Supreme Court remarks

India's Solicitor General, Gopal Subramaniam, has said that the Supreme Court's criticism of the Prime Minister in the 2G spectrum scam is not an embarrassment. The Solicitor General is due in court on Thursday for the next hearing on the case. On Tuesday, the court asked the government to explain why the Prime Minister took 11 months to respond to a request by former Law Minister Subramaniam Swamy that asked for former Telecom Minister A Raja to be prosecuted for the 2G scam.
