When the judge nodded, Raja took on his own defence, loudly and aggressively. The packed courtroom rapidly became very silent, eager to listen to what the now jailedDMK leader had to say.
"All my predecessors maintained the same policy which I worked on," said Raja, exhausting his usual white shirt and black trousers.
"If the CBI is saying ... I am not saying I am guilty but if the CBI says that Raja is guilty or he did any procedural error or a criminal conspiracy, then I will say that the same has been done by Arun Shourie also," he said in the packed courtroom.
Shourie was the communications minister in the BJP-ledNDA regime. The Congress-led UPA ousted the NDA in 2004.
Raja ended his intercession within a few minutes.
