PAC will initiate action if any wrongdoing found: Dikshit
New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI) Under fire following CAG
(Comptroller and Auditor General of India) report
indicting her and her government for irregularities in CWG
projects, Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit on Saturday said
action will be taken if any wrongdoing is found by the Public
Accounts Committee looking into the issue.
Dikshit said the report by the CAG tabled in Parliament
on Friday is to be looked into by the Public Accounts
Committee which is free to call any official for questioning.
"Look, this is a CAG report. The process is that the
report will be referred to the PAC which can call any
concerned authorities or officer for questioning," Dikshit
told reporters here.
She said her government will send to the committee any
official called for questioning.
"We will send them. If it is found that any wrongdoing
has taken place, they are equipped to take action," she said.
The Chief Minister, who has come under intense pressure
over CAG's questioning of the way the Games projects were
handled, said that at that time the priority before the
government was to conduct a successful event.
She said there may have been instances when over-
expenditure may have taken place because the priority was to
complete all projects on time.
"But if anything wrong has been committed, the PAC is
there to take action," she said.
