NEW DELHI: The Joint Parliamentary Committee(JPC) report on the 2G spectrum scam was on Friday adopted by a 16-11 vote in favour of government side. The vote tally came in at 16-11 after an NCP member also gave his support, said JPC Chairman Chacko.

The report gives a clean chit to both Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Finance Minister P Chidambaram in the 2G scam.

Reacting to the same, BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "They rejected our demand to call A Raja before the committee."

All eyes were on members of JD(U), BSP and SP which had not made their stand clear on supporting the document which gave a clean chit to the Prime Minister but indicted former Telecom Minister A Raja.

The government breathed easy with NCP scaling down its demand for calling Raja as a witness. The UPA all said it does not wish to make calling Raja as a witness an issue.
