How to handle the blamed situation?
I have been working in a corporate company for 1.5 years. I have given my good work, completing the tasks at the correct time. Since last month, I have been working in project,with a Team Lead and a junior guy (who is not sufficient to complete the tasks on time). Yesterday because of the junior guy, the task got delayed and he went to home without even completing. So the Team leader puts a mail to the Project Manager(who blindly supports the team leader), that saying "No one is interested in doing the tasks or extend to work, so I have to complete the tasks on my own and it will take some time". This mail denotes both me and that junior guy. Today there will be an enquiry related to this and how can I handle this?
I have worked with this team leader for 1 year and still he blamed me for this. How to face this kind of fake people and how to handle this situation?

"Today there will be an enquiry related to this and how can I handle this?" - why wouldn't you just tell the truth?

Blaming is part of the game you have to learn in corporate environment. Your team leader is blaming you because you are under him, it has nothing to do with your capability.
Why don't you move the blame to your junior teammate? You'd blame for everything like your team member lacks sufficient knowledge, and thus pulling the whole team down.
Your arguments:
- Your team member failed to do the job properly
- Your team member left office early
- Your team member had less experience than you
- You perfectly worked with your team leader but your team member failed to cooperate
The meeting takes place with me , junior and my team leader. How can I blame a guy when he is sitting just next to me? . If I blame and later it will be hard for me to face that guy too.

As an alternative approach to blaming the junior person, consider concentrating on your own achievements and actions. Make a list of tasks you have completed on time. Make a list of incomplete tasks that you are willing to work on and estimate what you can get done when.
