JPC report on 2G a 'fraud': BJP

Ravi Shankar Prasad also objected to the manner in which the report was allowed to be tabled in Lok Sabha yesterday

Press Trust of India New Delhi
BJP today said the JPC report on the 2G scam was a "fraud" and an attempt in hiding the truth.

Party's Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha, Ravi Shankar Prasad also objected to the manner in which the report was allowed to be tabled in Lok Sabha yesterday.

"The way the JPC report was tabled in Lok Sabha.... It is a fraud report. After all the documents, attempts have been made to bury the truth. And yesterday our leaders like Yashwant Sinha and Gopinath Munde raised the issue with all due seriousness," he said.

Speaker Meira Kumar had not allowed any interventions while the report was tabled, saying this was not permissible under the rules.
 

CPI leader Gurusdas Dasgupta said it was incorrect on part of the Speaker to not allow the opposition to raise its objections. Sinha had also objected to it.
