New Delhi: Finance Minister Jaswant Singh will appear tomorrow (Nov 13) before the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probing the stock scam.

"The Finance Minister has been invited to appear before the Committee for his comments on November 13," JPC chairman Prakash Mani Tripathi told reporters in New Delhi on November 12.

He made it clear that Singh would not be deposing before the Committee.

Singh was supposed to appear before the Committee on November 7 but the meeting was deferred.

Tripathi said former Finance Minister P Chidambaram has been asked to appear before the Committee on November 14.

JPC also decided to call former Finance Minister and the present External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha, but no date has been fixed for the hearing.

Sinha, who is on a foreign tour, will return only on November 16 and may be called during the winter session of Parliament.

JPC would also call Congress leader and former Finance Minister Manmohan Singh. Singh had earlier deposed before the JPC constituted in 1992.

Earlier, the JPC had decided to call the present and the former finance ministers in the first week of November.

Tripathi said the current round of JPC meetings were aimed at piecing together the final report, which he hoped to submit during the winter session of Parliament.
