Ranganathan Mishra report to be tabled this session: PM

December 09, 2009 01:31 pm | Updated 01:31 pm IST - New Delhi

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Wednesday said that the Justice Ranganathan Mishra report on the status of religious and linguistic minorities in the country would be tabled in parliament during the ongoing session.

Manmohan Singh’s assurance to the house came following an allegation by Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav that the report had been leaked to the media without being submitted before the house.

“I have taken note of it. I assure that the report will be tabled before the session gets over,” he said in the Lok Sabha.

The National Commission on Religious and Linguistic Minorities led by Justice Ranganathan Mishra, former chief justice of India, had submitted its report to the prime minister May 22, 2007.
