Hours after the Opposition NDA launched a focused attack seeking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s resignation, the government appeared to blink on the 2G standoff, offering a special session of Parliament to discuss the need for a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) to probe the spectrum scandal.
The latest offer — coming only 24 hours after the PM had himself rejected the case for a JPC — came from Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee at an awards function organised by news channel CNN-IBN. Mukherjee, who presided over two unsuccessful meetings with Opposition leaders trying to find a way out of the Parliament stalemate, said that he was ready to take the extra step if the BJP was willing to meet the government halfway.
“If they (the Opposition) assure that there will be a debate, I am ready to call a special session of Parliament before the Budget session so that this issue (setting up of a JPC) is debated,” Mukherjee was quoted as saying
