The government has at last has conceded for constituting a Joint Parliament Committee on the 2G scam. After resisting the formation  of the JAC for more than three months and wasting the entire winter session of the Parliament,  the government has come to its senses and agreed to form the JAC. This was indicated by the PM Manmohan Singh during his meeting with the BJP leaders. During the Press Conference earlier in the day, the Prime Minister indicated the same thing. The announcement is expected to come before the start of the Budget session of the Parliament which is to start from 21st February 2011.

In the meantime other opposition parties including CPI(M) were contacted by the congress leaders on this issue.

Now the question arises. Why the decision for JAC was not taken earlier, which could have saved the Winter session of Parliament. The fact is that the government has agreed now  only because there was no other way for the government. It is  a success of the opposition and the people of the country.
