PAC to submit its report on 2G scam
September 07, 2015  19:17
The 2G allocation scam is set to hog the limelight again as Public Accounts Committee has decided to submit its report on the controversial issue to Parliament based on the "in depth" discussions held by the panel then headed by Murli Manohar Joshi.

The PAC also plans to table reports on the Commonwealth Games scam and 'KG Basin -- Hydrocarbaon Production Sharing Contracts'.

These two issues were also taken by the PAC then headed by Joshi. Joshi's draft report on 2G scam in the previous Lok Sabha had strongly indicted former Telecom Minister A Raja and had come down heavily on the then PMO and the Cabinet Secretariat for not taking "corrective action" while not sparing even the Prime Minister for "some unfortunate omissions".

Present PAC Chairman K V Thomas (Congress) said today that he strives to submit the report in the Winter session of Parliament by looking into all the issues "impartially". He said if need be a sub-committee could be formed to study the previous draft report and draft the present Committee's own recommendations.

"The (full) Committee will then have a look at it. It will then be submitted to Parliament," Thomas said. It is to be seen how different will be the new report from the draft report submitted by Joshi to then Speaker Meira Kumar.
