The Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President K Annamalai has been unveiling a sequence of audio recordings, revealing discussions between high-ranking members of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the former Tamil Nadu intelligence chief, Jaffar Sait. The most recent audio segment marks the fifth tape in the DMK Files-3 series, showcasing yet another conversation between DMK Member of Parliament A. Raja and the former Intelligence Chief Jaffar Sait IPS.

These conversations occurred during the 2G probe and seem to prove that the probe was manipulated. In this recently released clip, the conversation centres on A Raja and Jaffar Sait discussing a potential test run of a CBI raid in Tamil Nadu. A Raja expresses his concern and informs Jaffar Sait about the possibility of a raid taking place across various locations associated with him. They discuss the urgency of alerting others and preparing for the situation. A Raja mentions the challenge of reaching a specific person (referred to as “our friend”) and expresses the need to convey the message discreetly. The conversation suggests a level of secrecy and caution, with A Raja emphasizing the use of a safe phone number for communication. They discuss the potential timing and scale of the raid, with A Raja indicating that it involves 10 to 12 simultaneous searches. The overall tone suggests a sense of urgency and the need for discreet communication in the face of an impending event. The transcript of the conversation is given below.

A Raja: Sir, I think there will be a small test run (CBI Raid) in Tamil Nadu tomorrow.

Jaffar Sait (JS): What is it, Sir?

A Raja: I think there will be a test run throughout Tamil Nadu.

JS: Is it tomorrow?

A Raja: Test run.

JS: Where?

A Raja: All the places associated with me.

JS: Oh, places associated with you is it?

A Raja: Yes. I haven’t conveyed the message yet. I do not know how to convey this message.

JS: Oh, oh.

A Raja: To close the procedure…

JS: Okay, okay.

A Raja: There will be a test run I guess. I am also struggling now, ‘our person’ has switched off his mobile. He knows the phone number of our leader. 

JS: Okay, through whom?

A Raja: Does he have any other number?

JS: Who?

A Raja: Our friend. Your friend.

JS: You mean my friend?

A Raja: No, no. Our friend from perambalur (Sadiq Batchas’s & A Raja’s associate in Perambalur).

JS: I don’t think there is another number.

A Raja: I couldn’t reach his number.

JS: Oh.

A Raja: Hmm.

JS: Okay… that means.

A Raja: I thought of alerting everyone somehow.

JS: I’ll convey the message by some other means.

A Raja: I already informed.

JS: Okay.

A Raja: I informed last week itself. Told them to keep everything in a bag and be ready (to move).

JS: Okay

A Raja: But still now…

JS: There is no time now. Probably around 6’O clock.

A Raja: There is no bad intention.

JS: Okay.

A Raja: I have to accept all the truth before the court.

JS: Okay. We shall complete it by 6 or 6:30 in the morning.

A Raja: They are planning to raid 10 to 12 places simultaneously.

JS: Okay.

A Raja: Okay let’s see. I tried to reach him but couldn’t.

JS: Okay. sir

A Raja: I think he was awake whole night to call and alert his people. 

JS: I’ll try to reach him by other means.

A Raja: I don’t know. I couldn’t reach him on his usual number. Let’s see.

JS: Okay, sir

A Raja: I’m talking to you on this number because it is safe.

JS: Okay. sir

The series of audio recordings has surprised many, creating internal shock within the DMK party, particularly in the context of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. However, both the DMK and the mainstream Tamil media seem undisturbed by these revelations. The DMK has chosen not to offer any remarks on the audio clips, skillfully deflecting questions from reporters. Party members, without indicating approval or disapproval, are maintaining a composed silence, employing a practiced approach that appears to be a developed strategy over the years.

Annamalai had earlier released audio tapes of conversations that occurred during the 2G probe that seem to prove that the probe was manipulated.

Announcing the initial release of several audio clips, Annamalai unveiled a recording featuring conversations involving DMK MP TR Baalu and Jaffar Sait.
