PMO not indicted by CAG: Kapil Sibal

The Union Government on Monday firmly rejected the Opposition`s contention that the Comptroller Auditor General (CAG) had indicted the Prime Minister`s Office on the Commonwealth Games issue and insisted that Constitutional processes must be followed before blaming anyone.
"I do not think that there is an indictment of the PMO in the (CAG) report. There is no indictment. There is only a reference...only a statement of facts," HRD minister Kapil Sibal told at a press conference after a meeting of the Group of Ministers on Media.
Law Minister Salman Khurshid and Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni were also present at the press conference.
Regretting that the media was reporting "indictment" of PMO and Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit when there was none, Sibal said the media should follow self-regulation and check facts before reporting.
