New Delhi: The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance
Government is likely to move a motion in the Lok Sabha for an
investigation by a Joint Parlimentary Committee (JPC) into the 2G
spectrum scam on Thursday. Congress is also holding a meeting to decide
on its strategy.
Sources say Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee will move the motion and Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal will also speak on it.
Sources
add that a consensus has almost been reached on the terms of references
of the JPC. The JPC is likely to investigate telecom licensing policy
from 2001 onwards, but the Left Front wants the probe to begin from
1998., which will also bring the then Bharatiya Janata Party-led
National Democratic Alliance government under scrutiny as well.
The
JPC will consist of 30 members out of which 15 will be from the UPA and
15 from the Opposition. The Committee will have 20 members from the Lok
Sabha and 10 Rajya Sabha MPs.
The
JPC will include 11 Congress MPs, five from the BJP including Jaswant
Singh, Yashwant Sinha and Harin Pathak (all from Lok Sabha) alog with SS
Ahluwalia and Ravi Shankar Prasad (both Rajya Sabha).
Two
members each from the JD(U), BSP, DMK, and the Left Front amd one MP
each from the Trinamool Congress, Nationalist Congress Party, Samajwadi
Party, Shiv Sena, BJD and the AIADMK will also be part of the JPC.
However, the name of the chairperson is yet to be announced.
