The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probing the 2G spectrum scam has now got more time to submit its report. This is because Lok Sabha today extended the term of this Parliamentary panel to the last date of the winter session.
Mr P.C. Chacko, who heads the JPC, moved the motion, which was adopted by the Lower House on Thursday.
This is the second extension of term for the committee, which consists of 20 members from the Lok Sabha and 10 from the Rajya Sabha. The JPC was constituted on March 4 last year to look into the entire gamut of policy prescriptions in the telecom sector from 1998 to 2009.
The panel was to originally submit its report by the end of the monsoon session last year. In September 2011, the Lok Sabha extended the JPC term to the end of this year’s budget session.
With the budget session coming to a close on May 22, the JPC Chairman today moved a motion for extending the term till the last date of the winter session.
