Raja unlikely to depose before JPC

The Joint Parliamentary Committee on 2G spectrum allocation is unlikely to call former telecom minister A Raja despite his request to depose before the panel as witness.

“The committee has started drafting the report. At this juncture we have not decided to call Raja,” P C Chacko, chairman of the committee, told Deccan Herald.
As the panel has to submit the report in the current session of Parliament, it is running short of time, he said. 

The committee can’t call anybody just because of his desire to appear before it.

Before calling anybody, the panel will first see whether it will help to probe the issue and then take a collective decision, he said.
