The rare action by the Speaker came about one and half months after Joshi submitted the draft report to the Speaker on April 30, the last date of his previous term as head of the Committee, and insisted that it be tabled in Parliament. He had sent it to the Speaker unmindful of rejection of the draft report on 2G scam by UPA members. The draft report was sharply critical of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, PMO and the then Finance Minister P Chidambaram among others.   PTI
