PAC chairman Dr Murli Manohar Joshi has demanded that union home minister P Chidambaram, should be dropped from the cabinet for "leaking the PAC report, sending wrong data of most-wanted persons to Pakistan, his role in the 2G spectrum scam and the hike in gas and petrol prices" when he was the finance minister of India.

Rediff.com's Onkar Singh quotes Joshi as saying, "Chidambaram, who got himself elected by fradulent means as alleged by Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa, should be dropped from the cabinet", Joshi said while addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi today.

He wanted to know how the confidential report submitted by him to the honourable speaker Mrs Meira Kumar was leaked out to the press even before it was officially made public.

"I think there is a issue of privilege and we would consult the constituational expert and file a breach of privilege motion against Chidambaram," Joshi said.
