The 2G spectrum allocation scam rocked Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee meeting yet again on Tuesday, with members of the ruling Congress Party raising the issue of the controversial report submitted by its chairperson, Dr Murli Manohar Joshi, leading to a strong rebuff from the Opposition parties.
The Public Accounts Committee meeting, called to discuss the CAG report on Land and Development of the Ministry of Urban Development, was drawing to a close when the scene turned acrimonious with Congress member Sanjay Nirupam raising the issue of the controversial report and news items in this regard.
Some PAC members had already left when Mr Nirupam said that though the last meeting of the panel was held in a good spirit, there were reports in the press that the PAC chairperson had not been allowed to speak and was heckled by the Congress members, sources said.

The Congress and its allies on Tuesday thwarted Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Murli Manohar Joshi's attempt to table before the reconstituted Public Accounts Committee (PAC) the rejected report of the previous panel that had hinted at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister P. Chidambaram's role in the alleged 2G scam.
Joshi, who heads the panel that oversees the government's spending, tried to table the report at a meeting of the new committee but the Congress members, led by Jayanti Natarajan, opposed this on the ground that a report that had been rejected would have to be redrafted before it could be presented again, sources said.
The meeting, which started at 11.30 a.m., was still underway at 2 p.m. and Joshi was still trying to bring consensus among the members for the report that was rejected by the earlier panel, whose term expired April 30.
The Congress members of the newly-formed panel are also arguing that the 2G scam was already being probed by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) and there was no need for the PAC to get into it.
Joshi had drafted the report and hurriedly submitted it to Speaker Meira Kumar's office on April 30 despite it being rejected by a majority of PAC members during a stormy meeting two days earlier.


Well, its a publicity gimmic on the part of BJP, as he too knows that it is the UPA members, who are the majority in PAC would call the shots!

Anyway, the JPC is already probing and apart from that at the direct supervision of the Supreme Court, the CBI too is probing the matter, seriously!!

The culprits would not escape, in this case!!!

New Delhi:  The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is expected to witness a stormy session as its chairperson and senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi will table the 2G scam report before new PAC today.

Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar had returned the draft report as it had not been adopted and passed by members of the outgoing PAC. 

Congress members of the new PAC have indicated that they would not allow the new panel to take up the 2G scam as a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) is already looking into it.
