BJP general secretary and MP Ravishankar Prasad said in Pune, "Kalmadi has not been interrogated so far by the investigating agencies and we want this to happen as early as


possible". BJP today called for an early interrogation of Suresh Kalmadi by the investigating agencies probing corruption charges in the conduct of the Commonwealth Games and said it


wanted Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to go into bothsecond-generation mobile telephony spectrum scam and Commonwealth Games scams to unearth the truth. Party general secretary and MP


Ravishankar Prasad said in Pune, "Kalmadi has not been interrogated so far by the investigating agencies and we want this to happen as early as possible". Prasad also criticised


the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, for his "inaction" in not stopping both the scams and alleged that there was a "conspiracy of silence" on part of Singh. Prasad said


Singh owed an answer to the nation as to why he failed to act to stop the biggest ever scam in independent India. "BJP wants a JPC to be constituted to go into both 2G and Commonwealth


Games scams. If we had not built up pressure in Parliament, A Raja would not have resigned", he added. Asked whether BJP was adopting double standards on the issue of corruption by


shielding Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyuruppa who is facing land grab charges, Prasad said,"The main issue there is de-notification of government land and the lok ayukta is


conducting an inquiry into the whole matter".
