Pranab, Chidambaram meet PM
New Delhi: Amid the raging controversy over 2G note, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee and home minister P Chidambaram on Thursday met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to discuss the issue.
The meeting of Mukherjee and Chidambaram with the Prime Minister, the first after his return from visit to New York, came on a day of hectic discussions in the Congress camp.
In the morning, Mukherjee met Congress president Sonia Gandhi after senior leaders A K Antony and Ahmed Patel held confabulations with her.
Later, law minister Salman Khurshid and MoS in the PMO V Narayanasamy met Chidambaram before he left for the meeting with the Prime Minister.
“All is well. Don’t worry," Khurshid said after their 20-minute meeting with Chidambaram.
The 2G note of the finance ministry is believed to have caused frictions between Mukherjee and Chidambaram which the party leadership is keen to end.
