Home ministry willing to give inputs for C'Wealth Games probe: P Chidambaram

Union home minister P Chidambaram today said that his ministry was ready to give inputs to the appropriate authorities looking into allegations of corruption relating to the Commonwealth Games.

"If we are asked about what went wrong (in the Games) by the appropriate inquiring authorities, Delhi police and the MHA will certainly provide inputs," he told reporters in New Delhi.

He was replying to a question on whether the home ministry will provide any inputs on issues relating to problems in ticketing and accreditation for the Games.

Asked what would be scope of the probe, he said, "I don't know. I have nothing to do with it."

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had yesterday appointed a high-level committee headed by a former Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to go into allegations of corruption relating to the sporting extravaganza.

The committee, headed by former CAG VK Shunglu, will submit its report to the prime minister within three months.
