2G logjam: Parliament adjourned yet again | Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned till noon within minutes of opening amid an Opposition insistence
for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the 2G scam. The morning sessions in both Houses were marked by sloganeering and loud protests. Opposition
members, including the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) and its allies, the Left parties,
Samajwadi Party and AIADMK shouted slogans in both the houses and asked Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh for a clarification. The Winter Session of Parliament
began on November 9 and has witnessed repeated adjournments over the opposition's
insistence for a JPC probe into the scam, even after A. Raja resigned as Communications
and IT Minister last Sunday. Both the BJP and the Left have noted that a Central
Bureau of Investigation (CBI) enquiry into the matter cannot be taken seriously.
The 2G spectrum allocation has reportedly caused an alleged loss of Rs1.76 lakh
crores to the Government, the CAG has stated in a damning report. The report further
states that Raja had no apparent logical or valid reason to ignore the advice
of the Law and Finance Ministries while allocating telecom spectrum to several
firms in 2007-08.
