JPC meet on 2G scam on Sep 27

Raja was a Cabinet minister in UPA government from DMK quota.

JD(U), which has two members in JPC, today said while it favours calling Raja as a witnesss, it is against calling the Prime Minister before the panel - a demand made by BJP and the Left.

Party chief Sharad Yadav, who is a JPC member, said he “may not be able to attend” tomorrow's meeting as he came to know about the date after his programmes in Bihar were already chalked out.

Battle lines have been drawn for the meeting as BJP and Left members are all set to oppose the draft report by either giving strong notes of dissent or even demanding a vote.

The Committee has 12 members of the ruling UPA—Congress (11) and NCP (1). Among its outside allies, SP has one member and BSP two.
