The Public Accounts Committee has the mandate to investigate any scam but BJP wants a JPC to probe the 2G spectrum allocation scandal, the parliamentary panel's chairperson and party leader Murli Manohar Joshi said today.
"PAC works according to the Constitution. PAC has a constitutional mandate. We have been appointed by Parliament under a constitutional obligation to chase the rupee. The rupee which has been stolen and belongs to the taxpayers. These are mandatory duties to check where it has gone," Joshi told reporters outside Parliament House.
He was replying to a question on whether PAC had the powers to investigate all aspects of the 2G spectrum scam in case a JPC was not formed.
Asked if PAC had a limited mandate vis-a-vis a JPC, he said, "I have been saying that I don't know why the government doesn't want to form a JPC. They will nominate the Chairman, they will nominate its officials. PAC is elected, you cannot make any changes in it."
