Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announcing the formation of a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the 2G Spectrum scam. This annauncment has hopefully ended the months-old stand off between the UPA and the opposition over the issue.
Now that Parliament will function properly, there is no reason to believe that the Opposition’s campaign against corruption in the UPA regime will run out of steam.
On the contrary, the JPC decision will energise the drive against other scandals such as the CWG scam, Adarsh housing society scandal and the controversial allotment of S-band in which the Prime Minister’s Office was directly involved.
Both, the Government and the Prime Minister have much to answer for, especially with regard to the S-band allotment case.
The fight against corruption has not ended with the constitution of a JPC; it has just begun.
Meanwhile, one can only hope that the Government acts on the outcome of the proposed JPC and not discard its findings, as it has done with some other parliamentary panels in the past. Of course, given the combative mood of the Opposition which stands united on the issue, it is unlikely that the Government will get away easily.
And in reality, PM is in tention for controversial allotment of S-band.
