"BJP welcomes the Supreme Court directives. We fully endorse the instructions of the Apex Court," BJP spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.

"Having said that, BJP strongly demands establishing a JPC and we reiterate this demand," he said.

Rudy said the Supreme Court directives have in no way diluted the BJP's stand favouring a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the matter.

"The Supreme Court directives in fact vindicates the stand taken by the entire opposition," Rudy said.
