`Parliament proceedings will be stalled until JPC is agreed to'

Chandigarh Newsline

Chandigarh, December 5: NATIONAL Incharge Legal and Legislative Cell of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Satya Pal Jain, today said the Congress-led UPA government would fall soon due to the numerous scams that have surfaced in the recent past.

Jain added that the whole opposition was united on the issue of the 2G scam and the Parliament would continue to be stalled till their demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee was agreed to.

On Saturday, Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Water Resources Pawan Kumar Bansal had stated that the JPC was not an investigating agency and there were other government agencies for the purpose. He had further said that the BJP was demanding JPC only as a political weapon.

Reacting to these statements, Jain while addressing a press conference said that what Bansal said was unfortunate and he was trying to mislead the people. “The Government of India instead of taking action against the guilty is trying to wriggle out of the situation. The government wants to save the culprits.

Why has an FIR not been registered in the matter? Raja should have been arrested and interrogated,” said Jain.

... Jain says, “The Prime Minister’s silence on the issue is unfortunate. If the PM knew of the scandal, it makes him a part of criminal conspiracy. If he did not know that such a scandal was happening then it is his weakness.” “The time for discussions is over. We want action. We do not want that after discussion for few days the Rs 1.76 lakh crore scam goes into cold storage. In case the Parliament is adjourned sine die then the party would take the issue to the streets,” said Jain.

... Jain said that while Bansal is claiming that even though four JPCs have been formed earlier these have yielded no result, it does not mean that no JPC should ever be formed. He added that in the scam involving Harshad Mehta after the JPC many bank reforms were brought in.

Senior BJP leader Harmohan Dhawan said that the government is trying to save the corrupt and the traitors. ...

दोषियों पर कार्रवाई की मांग उठाते रहेंगे : जैन

दैनिक ट्रिब्यून 

आदित्य शर्मा/नगर संवाददाता: चंडीगढ़, 5 दिसंबर। 2-जी स्पैक्ट्रम घोटाले से देश की अर्थव्यवस्था को गहरा नुक्सान पहुंचा है। इस घपले के सामने आते ही आम आदमी की जेब से गए एक लाख 76 हजार करोड़ रुपयों की वसूली पर अब कांग्रेस सरकार से जवाब देते नहीं बन रहा है। चंडीगढ़ प्रैस क्लब में अयोजित एक पत्रकार सम्मेलन में भारतीय जनता पार्टी के कानून प्रकोष्ठ के राष्टï्रीय अध्यक्ष सत्यपाल जैन ने उक्त विचार व्यक्त किए।

सत्यपाल जैन सहित भाजपा के वरिष्ठ नेता एवं पूर्व केन्द्रीय मंत्री हरमोहन धवन ने भी पत्रकार सम्मेलन को संबोधित किया।

जैन ने केन्द्रीय मंत्री पवन बंसल द्वारा कल चंडीगढ़ में दिये गये उस बयान, कि भारत सरकार जेपीसी की मांग को कभी स्वीकार नहीं करेगी, की आलोचना करते हुये कहा है कि मंत्री जी का यह बयान साबित करता है कि कांग्रेस की सरकार भ्रष्टाचार के दोषियों की सही जांच न करके मामले पर केवल लीपापोती करना चाहती है।

पलटवार करते हुये श्री जैन ने कहा कि वास्तव में इस मामले की सही जांच संसद की संयुक्त समिति ही कर सकती है। पीएसी भ्रष्टाचार से जुड़े मामलों की जांच नहीं कर सकती है। संयुक्त संसदीय समिति में कांग्रेस सहित सभी दलों के सदस्य होंगे, जो कोई भी संबंधित फाइल मांग सकते हैं। इसकी रिपोर्ट संसद में पेश होगी। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि मन्त्री जी जानबूझ कर इस मामले में लोगों को गुमराह कर रहे है। उन्होंने कहा कि मन्त्री का यह कहना कि विपक्ष इस मुद्दे पर संसद में अविश्वास प्रस्ताव ला सकता है, एक ‘बेहूदाÓ बयान है क्योंकि भ्रष्टाचार के दोषियों का दोष तथा सजा, संसद में मतदान से तय नहीं होती।

... जैन ने सवाल किया कि इतने बड़े घोटाले में प्रधानमंत्री, जनता व संसद के समक्ष अपनी स्थिति स्पष्ट क्यों नहीं कर रहे हैं। उन्होंने कहा न्यायिक इतिहास में यह पहला मौका है, जब सुप्रीम कोर्ट को प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय को निर्देश देना पड़ा कि वह हल्फिया बयान दे। ... उन्होंने कहा यदि प्रधानमंत्री को इस मामले में जानकारी थी, तो वह चुप्पी साधे क्यों बैठे रहे और अगर उन्हें यह जानकारी नहीं थी, तो यह और भी ज्यादा गंभीर मामला है। ...

Jain criticizes Parliamentary Affairs Minister for calling Parliament ‘ill-equipped’; insists on JPC Probe in 2G Spectrum Scam

INVC

December 5, 2010, Chandigarh: Mr. Satya Pal Jain, Ex-MP and All India Incharge of the Legal and Legislative Cell of the BJP, has said that BJP will continue its protest in both houses of Parliament till the acceptance of its demand of constituting a JPC to conduct a thorough probe into the 2-G spectrum scandal, Commonwealth Games Scandal and Adarsh Society Scandal.

Talking to media persons, in Chandigarh today, Mr. Jain ridiculed the statement of the Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister that the Government of India will not constitute JPC on 2G Spectrum Scandal. ...He said that the statement of the Parliamentary Affairs Minister that Parliament is “ill-equipped” to probe this scandal is an insult to the entire Parliament of India and unbecoming of the position of Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, which he is holding at the present.

... He said that the suggestion by the Minister of getting these scandals probed by Public Accounts Committee is only an attempt to avoid a thorough probe in to the matter because the PAC can only deal with certain paras of the CAG report of the government departments and cannot deal with the issue of finding as to who are responsible for the scandal. He said that this can be done only by a JPC because only the JPC has the power to thoroughly probe the whole matter, summon any official, Minister, Prime Minister or the concerned files and can recommend to Parliament as to who the guilty person are and what action should be taken against them.

... He said that BJP will not accept anything short of a JPC.

स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाले की जांच संयुक्त संसदीय समिति करे : जैन

जागरण

चंडीगढ़, जागरण संवाददाता : भाजपा लीगल एवं संसदीय कार्य प्रकोष्ठ के राष्ट्रीय प्रभारी सत्यपाल जैन ने कहा कि कांग्रेस 2जी स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाले में संयुक्त संसदीय समिति से जांच करवाने से क्यों भाग रही है?

आज यादव महासंघ के वार्षिक समारोह में मुख्य अतिथि के तौर पर संबोधित करते हुए श्री जैन ने कहा कि इतने बड़े घोटाले में प्रधानमंत्री जनता व संसद के समक्ष अपनी स्थिति स्पष्ट क्यों नहीं कर रहे हैं? न्यायिक इतिहास में यह पहला मौका है जब सुप्रीम कोर्ट को प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय को निर्देश देना पड़ा कि वह लिखित हलफिया बयान दें। उन्होंने कहा कि जब तक यूपीए सरकार विपक्ष की मांग को स्वीकार नहीं करती तब तक भाजपा संसद में विरोध जारी रखेगी।

श्री जैन ने कहा कि जनता की गाढ़ी कमाई को एक लाख 76 हजार करोड़ रुपये की चपत लगी है। जो पैसा सरकारी खजाने में आना था वह बड़े-बड़े नेताओं ने लूटा। उन्होंने कहा कि यदि प्रधानमंत्री को इस मामले की जानकारी थी तो वह चुप्पी क्यों साधे बैठे रहे और यदि जानकारी नहीं थी तो यह और भी गंभीर मामला है कि देश के प्रधानमंत्री को पता ही नहीं लगा कि उनकी नाक तले कितना बड़ा घोटाला हो रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि इस मामले की सही जांच पीएसी नहीं, संसद की संयुक्त समिति कर सकती है। भाजपा इस मामले को सिरे तक लेकर जाएगी तथा दोषियों को सजा दिलवाकर रहेगी।

BJP to continue its protest in Parliament

PTI

Chandigarh, Nov 21 (PTI) BJP will continue to disrupt both the houses of Parliament until the government accepts its demand to constitute a Joint Parliamentary Committee to probe into 2G spectrum scam, party's legal chief said here today.

Asking why the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi are not ready for a JPC probe, national in-charge of the Legal and Legislative Cell of BJP Satya Pal Jain rejected the Public Accounts Committee probe, as suggested by the PM.

Jain said PAC can only deal with with certain paras of the CAG report on 2G allocation and this will not help to find out who are responsible for the scandal.

Congress cannot escape the "guilt" of this scandal in which Rs 1,76,000 crore was "looted" that should have come to public exchequer, the former MP said.

Nothing less than JPC probe in 2G spectrum scam: Jain

NewKerala.com

Shimla, Nov 20: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) would settle for nothing less than a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the matter of alleged 2G spectrum scam in the Central Government.

A fair inquiry should be conducted into this whole episode and politicians and representatives of corporate houses involved in this scam should be put behind bars," National Convener of BJP Legal Cell Satya Pal Jain told mediaperson while addressing a press conference here today.

Terming the UPA Government, "Government of scams and scandals," he said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi should clarify the Government's and Congress Party's stand in this matter.

Mr Jain said that BJP would not allow any functioning in the Parliament until the Central government assures a JPC probe of scam and will continue the protest.

''It is for the first time in India that Supreme Court had asked the Prime Minister to clear his stand in any matter. The Supreme Court has asked a written statement by the Prime Minister in this regard,'' he said.

Mr Jain said ''Why Congress party is afraid of JPC probe into the scam. BJP has no faith in a CBI inquiry as CBI is only a puppet in the hands of Union Government''.

''The role of big corporate houses should also be probed in this matter,'' added Jain.

''Immediately after the report of Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) in this matter a FIR should have been registered'', said BJP leader.

Mr Jain said ''The present scam has justified the charges of BJP leader LK Advani terming Manmohan Singh a weak Prime Minister as PM has not been able to take any clear stand in this regard''.

''Congress party is deliberately trying to distract the people's attention from the issue by raising other issues and sidelining this very important one,'' said Jain.

BJP has demanded to make amendments in the anti defection law stating that any body found guilty under this law should devoid of contesting any election for six years and the law should be made applicable in all the bodies where elections are contested on party symbols.

2G ISSUE: BJP reiterates demand for JPC probe

Tribune News Service

Shimla, November 20: Reiterating the BJP’s demand for setting up of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), the BJP said today that the 2G spectrum, Adarsh Housing Society and Commonwealth Games scams had only reaffirmed his party’s view that Manmohan Singh had proved to be a weak Prime Minister.

Addressing a press conference here today, convener of the National Legal Cell of the BJP Satya Pal Jain said the BJP would not settle for anything less than a JPC and continue with its demand in Parliament. “If the PM was aware of the 2G spectrum scam then he should have answered all queries on it and if he was ignorant it is even more serious and unfortunate,” he remarked.

He said it was the first incident in the history of the judiciary that the Supreme Court wrote to the PM office, seeking a written reply. “Immediately after the CAG report came out, an FIR should have been registered against Raja and it appears that the government is trying to shelter the guilty,” he alleged.

Jain said constitution of a JPC was the only solution as it was only this committee that had the authority to even summon the PM. “The purview of the Public Accounts Committee is very limited and it is just not acceptable to the BJP,” he said.

PM Involved in Conspiracy of Silence Over 2G: BJP

Outlook

New Delhi, Nov 20, 2010: Stepping up its attack, BJP today accused Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of being involved in a "conspiracy of silence" over alleged corruption in the 2G spectrum allocation and demanded answers from him on how he permitted the "loot" to take place "right under his nose".

... In Shimla, BJP Legal Cell convenor Satya Pal Jain said the protest in Parliament would continue till the party demand for a JPC probe was accepted.
