Noting that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was an elected body, party National Secretary D Raja said the government, which wants to refer the CAG report to the PAC, cannot interfere with its working.

"If the government is opposed to forming a Joint Parliamentary Committee (into the spectrum scam), it should explain why," Raja said.
