Information and Broadcasting Minster Manish Tewari has demanded that the CAG should explain the presumptive loss in 2G allocation issue to clear the air over the matter. He said in Chandigargh today that the nation needs to know how 2,645 crore rupees of loss in 2G allocation turned a presumptive loss of 1.76 lakh

crore rupees. He said , it can happen only if CAG is prepared to debate the entire 2G report on an open public platform of their own choosing.

Tewari also accused PAC Chairman Murli Manohar Joshi of forcing the CAG to come out with the figures which have been questioned by the CAG official, who was asked to sign on the report even though he did not agree with it. He alleged that the PAC Chairman had also forced the CAG to expedite the report so that it could be presented in the Monsoon session of Parliament itself.
