New Delhi: Lok Sabha today (Nov 28, 2005) rejected an opposition-sponsored adjournment motion on the Volcker issue on the Iraqi oil pay-offs with the Government asserting that it was determined to go to the root of the matter and will not spare anyone found guilty.

Responding to the daylong debate on the motion, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said there was 'no need, no occasion and no justification' for the motion as the Volcker committee findings on former External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh and Congress party as beneficiaries were 'unverified and unsubstantiated' as things stand today.
