Mumbai: The Maharashtra government Monday tabled in the legislature the report of the Ram Pradhan-V Balachandran Committee that inquired into the November 26-29 Mumbai terror attacks with the Opposition demanding a probe into its alleged leak to the media.
The Opposition clamoured for an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), saying the report had leaked to the media even before it was tabled in the house.
Chief Minister Ashok Chavan rejected the demand saying that the report had not leaked though the opposition members said that there were "similarities" between the "leaked report" and the one presented before the house today.
However, there was no discussion on the report with the government setting up a 16-member committee headed by Chavan that will go into all aspects of the report and recommend further action.
Last week, following an uproar, Home Minister R R Patil had assured that the report would be tabled today (Dec. 21). But it would not be appropriate to make it public as there were many "sensitive issues" mentioned in it.
The two-member committee had gone into the entire gamut of the circumstances leading to the 26/11 attacks which left 166 people dead and submitted its report last May 27.
In the brief monsoon session of the state legislature, the government had tabled only a part of the report and an Action To Be Taken Report, but the opposition demanded the entire contents of the report be placed before the house.
