Communications & IT Minister Kapil Sibal announced yesterday that the Government has appointed retired Supreme Court Justice Shivaraj V.Patil as One Man Commission to examine the processes and procedures followed by DOT in the allocations of Licences and Spectrum from 2001-2009.  This is only but a diversionary tactics and eye wash.

The opposition parties have stated that they will move a privilege motion against this announcement outside, when the Parliament is in session. Instead of accepting the demand for a JPC probe, the government is simply trying to divert the issue; but they are not going to succeed.
