Senior BJP leader LK Advani has welcomed the government's initiatives to probe into the allegations of corruption relating to the Commonwealth Games hoping that "no wrong doer would be spared".

"It is highly gratifying that immediately after the conclusion of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has announced that the allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement in connection with the games would be probed," Advani said in his blog today.

The country hopes that the probe would be thorough and that no wrong doer would be spared. And there would be no search just for scapegoats, he said.

The BJP leader said while rich haul of medals by Indian sportspersons and successful execution of the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies may have somewhat compensated for the months long negative publicity within the country, "judging by what Indians living abroad have had to tell, the sum total of the publicity overseas has been very negative".

He also expressed happiness that the final day of the Commonwealth Games placing India at rank II came simultaneously with the three-fold triumph of the country in Cricket, the victory over Australia in the 2-test series, ranking India as number one in the sport and Sachin Tendulkar's peerless performance.

In his blog, Advani also referred to newspaper headlines regarding the 2G Spectrum controversies and media reports about corruption and that the "CAG assessment may well make the spectrum scam the biggest scandal since independence".

Referring to a news report regarding the apex court's remarks on a corruption case, Advani said, "the Supreme Court's comments reflect how angry and exasperated even the country's highest court feels when it repeatedly runs into corruption cases".
