PAC attacks CAG

In an unusually sharp attack on the CAG, some Public Accounts Committee (PAC) members recently alleged that the auditor's reports were based on "fraud" and "untruth" and must be revised. According to the minutes of the eighth and ninth sittings of the PAC held on October 10, 2011 some members launched an unprecedented attack on the government auditor saying its reports were "politically motivated". The meeting was also attended by CAG Vinod Rai. Some members pointed out that Joshi "had already clarified that it would not be appropriate to draw inferences merely on the basis of some news reports" and agreed to have a future interaction with Rai and R P Singh, the former director-general who oversaw the 2G audit and who had expressed his reservations initially about assessing 2G losses


What a guess in a mess! Who is to arrive at the truth or atleast nearer to the truth? Won't it be a fun in Indian democracy if someone tomorrow proves that it was all a fallacy to calculate the loss as Rs 1,76,000 crore and the entire media hype on this was only a drama of the first order wherein a few culprits were alone tortured and not all the actors who took part in it?



God help us all!
