JPC at last By Soli J Sorabjee

JPC at last: "Wisdom and good sense have prevailed. The Prime Minister has announced the setting up of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC). One wonders why the same spirit of accommodation and understanding did not prevail earlier which could have avoided the loss of a full parliamentary session. The Opposition was unyielding in its demand for a JPC and the government was equally intransigent in its refusal. At best, it looked like childish obstinacy on both sides. At worst, it smacked of intimidatory pressure tactics by the Opposition."
