New Delhi: A Joint Parliamentary Committee will probe the controversial chopper deal, with the government on Wednesday asserting that there will be "no cover up" as it was determined to go to the root of the scam and give maximum punishment to the guilty.
The setting up of the 30-member JPC was decided through a government motion passed by the Rajya Sabha after a walkout by members of most of opposition parties like BJP, JD(U), Trinamool Congress, CPI and AGP.
Moving the motion, parliamentary affairs minister Kamal Nath said the JPC would submit its report within three months of its first sitting and rejected the Opposition contention that the decision would amount to putting the issue on the backburner.He attacked the opposition for walking out, saying they were "running away".
