While a JPC on the 2G scam is on the anvil, the government on Friday ruled out a wider scope for the proposed panel to cover the Commonwealth Games and the Adarsh Housing Society scams as well.
Speaking to the media, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan K Bansal said, “A decision on (setting up) the JPC will be taken by Wednesday.”
When asked if the JPC would look into other scams too, as demanded by the BJP, Bansal said Leaders of Opposition Sushma Swaraj (Lok Sabha) and Arun Jaitley (Rajya Sabha) know that a JPC could be constituted only to look in to “one definite issue.”
“It is a premature question at the moment,” Bansal said. “This question would arise only after we decide to set up a JPC. We are still in the process of discussing (the issue) with other parties.”
On whether Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would appear before the JPC, Bansal said it was for the panel to take a decision and then secure the permission of the Speaker. The Prime Minister, according to sources, could make an intervention in Lok Sabha when a motion is moved for setting up a JPC.
