New Delhi, Oct. 16: The Union Home Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, on Saturday said his ministry was ready to provide all inputs to the appropriate authorities looking into allegations of corruption relating to the Commonwealth Games.
Mr Chidambaram said, “If we are asked about what went wrong in the Games by the appropriate inquiring authorities, certainly the Delhi police and the Union ministry of home affairs will provide inputs.”
When asked what would be the ambit of the probe, Mr Chidambaram said, “I don’t know. I have nothing to do with it. I can only say that the home ministry would provide any inputs on issues relating to problems in ticketing and accreditation for the Games.”
The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, on Friday appointed a high-level committee headed by a former Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to go into allegations of corruption relating to the Commonwealth Games.
The committee, headed by former CAG, Mr V.K. Shunglu, will submit its report to the Prime Minister within three months.
