Did not name Vajpayee in JPC draft report on 2G, says Chacko

Under attack from the BJP, JPC chief P C Chacko on Monday said he has not named former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in his draft report on the 2G spectrum issue. ‘I want to confirm that I have not taken anyone’s name in this report. This must be someone’s imagination. They must have calculated who was in power or in office in a particular period. I have not named Vajpayee or any other minister in the report. There is no such thing,’ he said.

BJP chief Rajnath Singh had on Sunday attacked the JPC saying his party would raise strong protest against any attempt to ‘malign’ Vajpayee in 2G case and on coal block allocation probe.
