In the meeting of the Join t Parliamentary Committee (JPC), looking in to the 2G Scam, held yesterday, the opposition members in the committee demanded that Prime Minister and top officials of the PMO should be called to give evidence before the committee. This was opposed by the ruling party members and instead demanded that all the earlier telecom ministers, many of whom belong to BJP, be called.

It is very clear that there is so much vital information that is being kept undisclosed by those in power. Whether it is the UPA or the NDA government, both have many skeletons in their cupboards. It is necessary that all these information should be placed before the JPC and the public.

The neo-liberal policy and so-called reforms started by 1990s had given the chance for those in power to misuse the authority given to them and have been indulging in corrupt practices to such an extend that much of the natural resources of the country have been handed over to the MNCs and big business for paltry sums. The series of scams being exposed give a sorry picture of those in power. This loot has to be stopped. For that all information should be collected and remedial action taken. Nobody, however high he/she  may be, can not be tolerated, if he/she is found corrupted and working against  national interests.
