New Delhi, February 08: The all-party meeting convened by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today saw almost the entire opposition speaking in one voice on their demand for a JPC probe into anomalies in the 2G spectrum allocation.
BJP Parliamentary Party Chief and NDA working chairman L K Advani, while summing up the opposition viewpoint towards the end of the meeting, said neither should the government think that accepting the JPC demand would be its defeat nor should the opposition treat it as a victory.
“Advani said the general opinion in the country was in favour of a JPC probe and the government should be gracious enough to agree to it even without the opposition pressing for it,” a leader present at the meeting said.
Mukherjee, who was the host at the luncheon meeting, said that he would convey the views of all the parties to the government and get back to them.
