Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in a strong sounding speech in Parliament on Thursday said that "if there is a scam it must be dealt with the law of the land. Law of the land must punish the wrong doers".

"Unfortunate developments have taken place in the areas of telecom and Commonwealth Games. I assure the House there is nothing we will not do to clean our public life," Manmohan Singh said.

"Our government will fully cooperate with all agencies and entities to ensure that truth comes out on the telecom controversy. No wrongdoer should escape punishment from the legal system in the Commonwealth Games." he added.

On the issue of black money, Manmohan Singh said, "We are one with the Opposition that everything should be done to bring back black money stashed abroad." He said that all constructive suggestions will be considered. "Will sit together with parties and seek their help to see how black money problem can be dealt with," he added.

The PM also rebuffed claims that huge potential government revenue had been lost in a satellite spectrum contract lease recently scrapped by his government after corruption allegations.

"The government has taken a strategic decision not to allot S-Band spectrum to Antrix for commercial purposes," the PM said.

The government last week cancelled the Indian Space Research Organisation's contract with private firm Devas Multimedia to lease satellite space after discovering irregularities in the deal, dealing a fresh blow to Singh's government already under fire over corruption scandals.

On the issue of food security, Manmohan Singh said he was committed to bringing a bill to Parliament soon and controlling inflation while protecting economic growth.

Food inflation in India is among the highest in Asia despite good harvests. Food prices have been in double digits for much of the last year, sparking street protests and keeping pressure on Singh's government already under fire over corruption scandals.

Manmohan Singh repeated that he expected inflation for March to ease to 7 per cent. The government has repeatedly missed its forecast for inflation over the past year or so.
