In a bid to corner the Congress after it launched a tirade against it for imposition of President's rule in Uttarakhand, the ruling dispensation has decided to raise issues of AgustaWestland Chopper scam, Aircel Maxis scam and the Ishrat Jahan case in the Parliament on Wednesday.

Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy, who was nominated as a Rajya Sabha member on Tuesday, will raise the AgustaWestland row in the Upper House, while party MP Meenakshi Lekhi will raise the issue in the Lok Sabha. The party will also demand a discussion on the Aircel Maxis scam, in which the role of former finance minister P Chidambaram has been questioned.

BJP MP Anurag Thakur will raise the Ishrat Jahan issue in the Lok Sabha, while Kirit Somaiya has already given notice to discuss Aircel Maxis issue in Lower House.
