Commonwealth Games scam: Delhi cabinet trashes Shunglu panel findings

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Government on Wednesday approved its response to the Shunglu Committee report, rejecting all the findings of the panel which pointed out to alleged bunglings in Commonwealth Games projects.

"The Cabinet has approved the report prepared by the three-member committee. We are giving paragraph-wise response to the Shunglu Committee's findings. It will be sent to the Home Ministry in the next two-three days," Dikshit said emerging from a Cabinet meeting.

Officials said the government has rejected all the findings of the Prime Minister-appointed committee putting strong arguments trashing the report.

Dikshit said the response from MCD and NDMC against whom the Shunglu panel had also levelled allegations will be sent along with the government's response to the Home Ministry. "We have received responses from MCD and NDMC and we will forward their responses also along with ours," she said. Asked about the content, Dikshit refused to divulge details.

The response came in the backdrop of the Home Ministry asking the city government to explain its position on the PM-appointed committee's report. The Home Ministry had last month sent the report of the Shunglu panel to Delhi Government.
