“The Prime Minister has also declared that he is ready to face PAC (Parliamentary Accounts Committee),” he further said after a meeting with party’s legal cell workers from Gujarat at Congress headquarters here.

“We have also offered a joint session of Parliament for discussion on the issue. But it seems that the Opposition is not interested in discussion as the CBI has started investigations from 2001(when NDA was in power),” he said.

“By refusing discussion on the issue the BJP has shown that they do not believe in principles of democracy,” Moily said.

On a question of shortage of judges in Gujarat High Court,Moily said that the process of appointment of judges in high court was on and new appointments will be made soon.
