Lok Sabha Secretariat has justified the Speaker's decision not to allow any discussion on JPC report on 2G scam. In a statement yesterday, it said, there is no rule, precedent or parliamentary convention which permits discussion before the report's presentation.

BJP and CPI were highly critical of Speaker Meira Kumar's ruling on Monday disallowing any discussion on the issue at the presentation stage during Zero Hour. The Lok Sabha Secretariat aso said that no point of order can be raised after the Speaker has given a ruling on a subject as every ruling is final in the matter.

The JPC report gave a clean chit to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the 2G spectrum scam saying he was misled by the then Telecom Minister A Raja.
