It is the Finance Ministry which is expected to submit the ‘Action Taken Report’ on Pathak’s findings and submit it to the Cabinet before tabling it in Parliament. ‘‘The ATR will be prepared soon—faster compared to any other report (ATR) tabled in Parliament. The Finance Minister has assured (us),’’ Dasmunsi said.

Dasmunsi, along with UPA allies and Left partners, held a press conference targeting the BJP for what they called ‘‘motivated disruptions aimed at monopolising House proceedings and undermining the parliamentary system of democracy’’.

CPI member Gurudas Dasgupta went to the extent of calling the BJP-led disruption of the House as ‘‘parliamentary fundamentalism’’.

Cornered from all sides, Natwar Singh himself pledged his loyalties to the Congress party even as the Delhi High Court today rejected a plea for not making public the Justice Pathak report.

The court was hearing a plea by Jagat’s friend Andaleeb Sehgal, who was found by the Pathak panel to have got a share in the money out of the sale of oil contracts.
