CAG report on 2G spectrum in Parliament tomorrow

The government will table in Parliament on Tuesday the much-talked about report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on the 2G spectrum allocation.

The Performance Audit Report on the Issue of Licences and Allocation of 2G spectrum by the Department of Telecommunications will be tabled in the Lok Sabha by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, officials said.

Presentation of the report is expected to provide fresh fodder to the Opposition which is not satisfied with Mr. Raja’s resignation and is pressing for a Joint Parliamentary probe to unearth the entire scam, a demand rejected by the government.

The Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies as well as the Left parties, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, the Samajwadi Party and the Rashtriya Janata Dal are demanding that a JPC should examine the issue.

The government has expressed readiness to discuss the CAG report after it is tabled in Parliament.
