BJP today said the JPC report on the 2G scam was a "fraud" and an attempt in hiding the truth.

Party's Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha, Ravi Shankar Prasad also objected to the manner in which the report was allowed to be tabled in Lok Sabha yesterday.

"The way the JPC report was tabled in Lok Sabha.... It is a fraud report. After all the documents, attempts have been made to bury the truth. And yesterday our leaders like Yashwant Sinha and Gopinath Munde raised the issue with all due seriousness," he said.

CPI leader Gurusdas Dasgupta said it was incorrect on part of the Speaker to not allow the opposition to raise its objections. Sinha had also objected to it.
