New Delhi: MPs created uproar in the lok sabha over the ‘missing coal’ files. The House has been adjourned till 12 pm after the uproar. The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after zero hour in the Rajya Sabha Prime Minister is expected to intervene over the issue in Rajya Sabha after the zero hour.
This comes in response to the BJP demanding that he make a statement on the issue before departing for the G20 summit. During his last speech Manmohan Singh had already told the Rajya Sabha that since he is not the custodian of the files, there’s no reason for him to explain why the files went missing. Especially since coal minister Sriprakash Jaiswal had made statements in both Houses of the parliament over the missing coal block allocation files. Sushma Swaraj reiterated what Arun jaitley had said in Rajya Sabha over a week ago: “Why was a FIR not filed when the files went missing. Is this a cover-up operation?” she question, saying that it is the Prime Minister’s duty to explain the missing files.
