New Delhi: The BJP
members Thursday ended their boycott of a parliamentary panel
probing the 2G spectrum allocation issue and reiterated their
demand for calling Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance
Minister P. Chidambaram as witnesses.
According to parliamentary sources, Bharatiya Janata Party member
Yashwant Sinha said that calling the prime minister and
Chidambaram had become "more urgent" after the statement of former
cabinet secretary K.M. Chandrasekhar before the joint
parliamentary committee (JPC) looking into the issue.
Chandrasekhar had earlier told the JPC that he had written to the
prime minister suggesting an increase in the licence fee for 2G
spectrum to enable the government earn an additional Rs.35,000
crore revenue.
The BJP had quit the panel over its demand around two months ago.
According to sources, a Congress member, in turn, demanded that
BJP leader and former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee should
also be called by the JPC.
The JPC meeting was called to record the views of the Cellular
Operators Association of India.
