Very intersting developments are taking place in the enquiry on 2G scam in the two parliamenmtary committees viz. Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Joint Parliament Committee (JPC).

The Parliament was stalled for one full session on the issue of formation of Joint Parliamentary Committee to enquire in to the 2G scam. The opposition parties wanted a JPC but the Government did not agree stating that the PAC can inquire in to all aspects. Now the JPC is formed, Congress says that PAC can only look in to the CAG report. Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh even stated that he is prepared to give evidence before the PAC. Now, the Congress party is opposing even the Cabinet Secretary giving evidence before PAC.The work of the PAC is almost stopped due to the stalling plan of the Congress members in the PAC.

It is becoming clearer and clearer that the UPA government will spare no pains to defeat the JPC, PAC as also the newly formed committee to draft Lokpal Bill or any action against corruption. From Boffors scandal onwards, you know what happened to all those cases where corruption is involved. The culprits are not punished and they are allowed to go scot-free.

The struggle against corruption has to continue.
