New Delhi, March 9 :     Buoyed by the Bihar rollback, a rejuvenated Opposition today spelt fresh trouble for the BJP-led government, demanding a House debate into the sacking of Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat and a joint parliamentary committee probe into the matter. There were heated exchanges in the Lok Sabha as Opposition MPs sought a ?threadbare? discussion into Bhagwat?s ?unprecedented? ouster as navy chief and tabled censure notices under rule 184 and 193 against the government. Any discussion under rule 184 will entail voting in the House and is likely to be seen as another no-confidence motion against the government. Faced with the spectre of a concerted Opposition offensive, Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee asked BJP MPs not to panic but, instead, remain alert to the Opposition?s ?designs?. ?We are prepared for any eventuality and on Bihar, the public is with us,? he told a meeting of the BJP parliamentary party. (Full report on Page 6) PMO sources said the government is willing to show Opposition leaders all classified documents on Bhagwat?s ouster to avoid a discussion in the House. But if Congress leaders do not budge, the Centre will be forced to embarrass that party by widening the scope of the debate ?beyond Bhagwat?, they warned. In the Lok Sabha, former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda scoffed at the government?s argument that the ouster was related to ?national security? and could not be discussed openly. He said neither RAW nor the Intelligence Bureau had ever reported against Bhagwat, and only defence minister George Fernandes considered him a security risk. When the chaos in the House showed no signs of abating, Speaker G.M.C. Balayogi met Vajpayee, leader of Opposition Sharad Pawar, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad and parliamentary affairs minister P. R. Kumaramangalam to discuss the admissibility of notices seeking open discussion on the ouster. The Speaker will give his final verdict on Thursday after further consultations with Opposition leaders. Vajpayee is expected to make a statement in the House. But the Congress is unlikely to go back on its demand. In the House, Congress leaders, backed by Opposition MPs, said Bhagwat had made serious allegations of a nexus between arms dealers and services personnel, and had also cast aspersions on Fernandes. This called for a JPC probe, they added. Indrajit Gupta (CPI) said it was strange the Centre had not bothered to take the House into confidence on this ?sensitive? issue. Kamal Nath (Congress) said said he was not questioning Bhagwat?s ouster as such, but felt the matter reeked of corruption and involvement of the bureaucracy. CPM leader Somnath Chatterjee said conflicting versions had appeared in newspapers on the nature of the ?security risk? posed by Bhagwat. ?The House has been kept totally in the dark on the real reasons for his dismissal,? he said.
