It wasn’t so long ago that the Congress leadership was all for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) looking into the 2G spectrum issue. “The PAC is a joint parliamentary committee presided over by a senior member of the Opposition. I am willing to appear before it.” These were the words of no less a personage than Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with finance minister Pranab Mukherjee offering a multi-disciplinary investigative agency to assist the PAC headed by Opposition leader Murli Manohar Joshi. But the vehemence with which the UPA members of the PAC have rejected the report is puzzling and worrying.
