Raja's arrest meant to hoodwink public, says Jaya

"The whole thing looks artificial and well planned. They should have done this long back," Jayalalithaa told reporters.

She said nothing short of a JPC to probe into the scam was acceptable to her.
The AIADMK leader said the government had adopted "contradictory stands" on the issue. Initially it said Raja was not guilty but now it had arrested him and "in the process it not only became a laughing stock, but also made the public a laughing stock," she added.
