Indianmandarins has learnt that the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament headed by senior Congress leader KV Thomas, which was reconstituted last week, may take up the contentious AgustaWestland case, an issue which has created a political storm both within and outside Parliament. The panel is likely to take up the chopper scam as the Comptroller and Auditor General had made some adverse comments against it in its report in the past which is already with Parliament.
Chairman of the PAC K V Thomas has reportedly said that "usually the PAC takes up any issue the CAG has examined after it submits its report in Parliament. Sometimes the PAC takes any issue suo moto as well like the last PAC did in case of NPA," he said.
