26/11 report may be tabled before legislators’ panel

Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal,Home Minister R R Patil,Energy Minister Ajit Pawar,Leader of Opposition Eknath Khadse and Shiv Sena group leader Subhash Desai were among the members who attended the meeting.

The ruling parties proposed to set up a committee of Legislature members from both the sides who would discuss the Pradhan committee report. “The committee would study the report and express its opinion on it,” a legislator,who attended the meeting,said.

The Opposition parties have not accepted the proposal yet,as they would discuss it at the party level. About 15 members from each side would be in the committee,he said.

Some members of Opposition parties are not ready to accept the proposal,as they want the Government to table the report in the House,the legislator said.

However,the Government is also very keen to keep some parts of the report secret,as it may affect the security of the state and the 26/11 trial,which is going on in Mumbai,he said.
