The Government on Monday pooh-poohed the Opposition's charge that the Comptroller and Auditor General's (CAG) had indicted the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on the Commonwealth Games issue.
Insisting that Constitutional processes must be followed before blaming anyone, the Human Resource Development Minister, Mr Kapil Sibal, said “I do not think that there is an indictment of the PMO in the (CAG) report….There is only a reference...only a statement of facts.”
At a press conference after a meeting of the Group of Ministers on Media, Mr Sibal said the media should self-regulate and check facts before reporting.
He, however, steered clear of questions on whether he could categorically say that there was no indictment of the Delhi Chief Minister, Ms Sheila Dikshit, in the CAG report, saying, “We have not read the full report. You should let us know if there is any particular passage which you find as indictment (of Ms Dikshit).”
