JPC or PAC? Or Why Not Both?

 It is puzzling as to why the BJP is making such a fuss over Public Accounts Committee chairman Murli Manohar Joshi’s willingness to look into the Prime Minister’s offer to appear before it in the 2G spectrum scam. Dr Joshi’s stand in no way scuttles the Opposition’s demand for a joint parliamentary committee to look into the whole issue of accountability and governance in the 2G scam. One can understand the chagrin of the Congress Party about giving in on the JPC demand as it fears the Opposition will drag on this issue of colossal malfeasance indefinitely so that the Congress’ image takes a beating over a longer period. The Congress, understandably, is worried about the BJP and the Left’s political agenda. Going by the record of the JPC in the 2001 stock market scam, the committee took over one-and-a-half years to present its report, and, despite its very significant recommendations in December 2002, the government and the regulatory bodies are still to implement some of those that remain very relevant. Even the main players in the stock market scam have not been adequately punished till today. So, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj’s contention that a JPC goes further than the PAC in that it deals with accountability and governance could be a case of expecting too much. Besides, her crusade for a JPC in the furtherance of accountability appears to be lip service considering the BJP’s role in the Karnataka mining scam.

Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) Or Parliament's 'Public Accounts Committee' (PAC)?
