No indictment of Delhi CM in CAG's main report on CWG: Govt

New Delhi, Aug 8 (PTI) Indian Government on Monday sought
to pick holes in the CAG report on Commonwealth Games, saying
there was no indictment of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit
in the main report, but only a line mentioned about her in the
executive summary.
Talking to reporters soon after Parliament was rocked on
the issue, Union Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal said as a
minister he should not be speaking on the CAG report, but at
the same time "Chapter 22 of the main report has no indictment
(of the CM). But how is she indicted in the executive summary.
"Executive summary has the crux of the main report. It
is not in the main report, but only a line has been mentioned
in the executive report. How is it. Who made the summary will
reply. They are holding press conferences, they will reply not
me. I have only brought forth the facts," he said referring to
the press conference by the CAG on the Commonwelath Games last
week.
The Parliamentary Affairs Minister said Opposition
members were raising slogans "based on total misinterpretation
and misreading of the facts."
"Though CAG report is not discussed in Parliament, I am
not making it an issue. If anyone has a cursory look at the
executive summary as also the main report, one would find that
in the main report there is no indictment whatever of the
Chief Minister on which they were shouting here which is
really not the forum," he said.
The Minister said once the Public Accounts Committee
discusses the report, Opposition will realise that the issue
on which they disrupted proceedings, "was never an issue."
He said had they given a notice on it, a discussion
could have taken place as per rules.
He said with the adjournment of both Houses for the day,
the discussion on internal security could not take place
today. "It may now not take place due to other important
discussions lined up," he added.
