New Delhi, Apr 28 (): Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni on Thursday said the government will find out how the draft report of the Public Accounts Committee was leaked before it was discussed among its members.
"We will find out. The report of the PAC has reached some sections of the media. I have no answer as to how it reached them," said Soni.
"Until it is officially tabled, you cannot expect me to comment on that. I have no knowledge (of the report). Until all the members of the PAC agree with the report, it is not proper for a Union Minister to comment on it," she added.
Responding to questions on the differences between members of the ruling coalition and Opposition over the draft report, Ambika Soni said: "If there is any difference it will be discussed and it is the basic element of democracy. Earlier also, there were differences in committees. They were sorted out."
"Let the report come. We will talk about it," she added.
Charging PAC chairman Murli Manohar Joshi of having 'malafide intention' of destabilising the government, the Congress and DMK leaders of the panel had on Wednesday demanded his resignation over the draft report.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament, which is probing the 2G spectrum scam, has in its report indicted former Telecom Minister A. Raja for misleading the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, in 2008.
