India News: CAG Vinod Rai who is retiring on 22nd of May said "he feels pity for Kapil Sibal and company" to an English Newspaper.
He further added, "I told the JPC, fair enough, you don't accept my figures. I gave four sets of figures, but you don't accept them. Fine. But in my report I have said that there has been loss and that cannot be denied.
The quantum of loss can be debated. I told them your own agency, CBI, has said there was a loss of Rs 30,000 crore. In their FIR they have mentioned it. I asked them, are you going to condone Rs 30,000 crore? If you are willing, I will go out and give a statement that I withdraw Rs 1,76,000 crore figure. That's why I feel sorry for them. Will anybody believe that there was no loss?"
