| Murli Manohar Joshi on Thursday walked out of a meeting where his report on the 2G scam was defeated by one vote. Eleven of the 21 members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that he heads submitted written notes casting their votes against the report that Mr Joshi had prepared. The senior BJP leader walked out without voting and maintains that he had adjourned the meeting and so there could be no proceedings after that.
"There was no voting," he said after walking out. The Speaker of the Lok Saha - Meira Kumar - may play a crucial role in determining the validity of Mr Joshi's claim.
The dissent by the nine Congress and DMK members of the committee was expected. One member each from the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Samajwadi Party joined them.
Mr Joshi chairs the 21-member Public Accounts Committee , whose term expires this Saturday. Mr Joshi is meant to continue as Chairman for the new PAC.
In a symbolic gesture of rebellion, after Mr Joshi exited the meeting, Congress and DMK members declared Congress leader Saifuddin Soz the Chairman for the day.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Bansal said, "Professor Soz will be sending the recorded votes against the Joshi report to the Speaker."
