On JPC

February 22, 2011 03:01 am | Updated October 10, 2016 09:11 am IST

The UPA government's decision to form a Joint Parliamentary Committee to probe the 2G spectrum scam comes as a relief to the nation. Although past JPCs have ended up being unimpressive, the constitution of a JPC in today's context of greater awareness on the evil of corruption will make a difference.

Let us hope that the Treasury and the Opposition benches will ensure that the budget session is conducted effectively. We need to hear well reasoned arguments on issues that concern all of us. Inflation is a new worry. The Opposition should cooperate with the government and stop looking at everything as an opportunity to score points.

C.P. Velayudhan Nair,

The JPCs constituted in the past were either boycotted or their recommendations rejected. Let us hope politics will take a back seat this time. We need proper answers on the 2G scam.

Paramjit Singh,

Visakhapatnam
