The CPI(M) today stayed away from the political slugfest between the BJP and the Congress over a court verdict on the 2G spectrum case, but called for immediate legal steps to ensure that the guilty in the scam were punished.
The Left party in a statement observed that the judgement of the CBI special court had raised more questions than answers.
"Since the CBI case and prosecution have proved inadequate, steps must be taken immediately to pursue the matter legally, so that those who are guilty are punished," it said.

The CPI(M) maintained that it had been "well-established" by the Comptroller and Auditor General that the allocation of 2G spectrum had caused "a big loss" of Rs 1,76,000 crore.
"The Supreme Court had indicted some of the telecom companies involved for misuse of the allocations and cancelled the licences of concerned companies," it said.
