JPC report to be submitted before monsoon session, says Chacko

THRISSUR: The Joint Parliamentary Committee ( JPC) set up to probe the 2G spectrum scam would submit its report before the commencement of the monsoon session of Parliament, its Chairman P C Chacko said today.

Chacko told PTI that the first sitting of the JPC would be held before the end of the current session of Parliament. The monsoon session of Parliament would commence in July, he added.

On whether Prime Manmohan Singh would be summoned before the JPC, Chacko said it would be decided only after the matter was discussed by the Committee.

The Prime Minister had stated that he was ready to appear before the JPC even before its constitution, Chacko said.
