Singh, who headed the CAG team that audited the 2G spectrum allocation, maintained that he had never put the figure of Rs 1.76 lakh crore in his draft report.
"They (senior CAG officials) told me that this is the final report and asked me through a written order to sign on it. So I followed the instruction and I signed the report," Singh told PTI.
He claimed "there was no opportunity to show one's difference of opinion."
"I am their field office. I prepared the report. Why I removed those figures I explained. I gave them the reasons for the removal and thereafter submitted it to the higher authorities. This is their report and their responsibility. They again put those loss figures. What can I do in this?"
To a question whether he had differed on the figures quoted in the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG)'s final report, he said it was not a question of difference.
"I had removed these figures from my report. Why I removed these figures from my report I had explained. But they did not agree to my explanations and they incorporated those figures in the final report.
"And they told me that this is the final report and asked me through a written order to sign on it. So I followed the instruction and I signed the report," Singh said. MORE
