BJP attacks parliamentary panel on 2G spectrum scam: highlights

The BJP has submitted a dissent note against a parliamentary panel's draft report on the 2G spectrum scam, alleging a "cover-up" to protect Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister P Chidambaram. BJP leader Yashwant Sinha addressed the media and said the JPC was trying to suppress the facts.

Yashwant Sinha:

• Six JPC members have submitted a dissent note today against the draft report
• We submitted a letter to the speaker
• BJP parliamentary party had directed us not to resign - instead stay in and lodge our protest
• We were told that anyone who wants to submit a dissent report has to submit it before 5 pm today
• We knew that the JPC will try to suppress the facts and we decided to stay inside the JPC and fight
  
• We knew there will be an attempt to carry out a cover up
