Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] members on Wednesday walked out of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) meeting on the 2G scam, dubbing it as a 'kangaroo court' following differences on the issue of calling Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [ Images ] to depose before it.
BJP MPs Jaswant Singh [ Images ], Yashwant Sinha [ Images ], Dharmendra [ Images ] Pradhan and Ravi Shankar Prasad walked out of the meeting which was expected to finalise the list of persons who shall depose before the Committee.
"It is a kangaroo court (mock court without any regard for principles of justice), so we came out," one BJP member said.
BJP has been wanting Prime Minister Singh [ Images ] and Finance Minister P Chidambaram [ Images ] to depose before the Committee, a demand strongly opposed by Congress.
The JPC has 30 members -- 20 from Lok Sabha and 10 from Rajya Sabha -- representing different parties.
The committee is chaired P C Chacko, a leader of Congress party which has 10 other members in it.
