The draft Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) report on 2G scandal has given a clean chit to the Prime Minister and Finance Minister P Chidambaram in the huge 2G spectrum scam in the country

Panel chief P C Chacko claimed that the JPC draft report was based on the terms of reference covering a period of ten years. He said that the panel is looking at the issues in a chronological order and urged the members should look at the draft report for its merit and not on political grounds.

Former Telecom Minister A Raja, who is being accused of misleading the Prime Minister on 2G spectrum issue, continued to say that all the decisions were taken in consultation with the Prime Minister. He said that the PM was involved in all the decisions and also said that he would send a detailed note to the panel next week to defend his position.

Meanwhile, the main opposition party in the parliament, the BJP said the draft report was an effort to save the union government and to protect the Prime Minister. Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal said that the report is still in its draft form and asked the media and the opposition members not to speculate on the matter.
