Instead of attempting to cover up the 2G spectrum scam and shield those involved, the United Progressive Alliance government should order a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe as that alone will be the solution to break the deadlock in Parliament, Communist Party of India (Marxist) Central Committee member T. K. Rangarajan said here on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Rangarajan said that Parliament, which should transact business for a minimum of 100 days a year to discuss people's problems and find amicable solutions, was being stalled by the Opposition for the past 19 days as the government was adamantly rejecting the reasonable appeal for a JPC probe into the 2G Spectrum scam, which “caused a whopping loss of Rs.1.76 lakh crore to the nation.”
Even after the Comptroller and Auditor General had stated that the nation had suffered a huge loss, the government was not really interested in identifying the culprits involved in the “mother of all scams.”
DMK criticised
Mr. Rangarajan criticised the DMK government for denying permission to Opposition parties for organising State-wide public meetings on the scam. “Even as former Union Minister A. Raja has reportedly intervened in the judicial process, the DMK government is not allowing the Opposition to conduct the meetings to show its opposition in a democratic manner.”
