New Delhi: Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Sunday night, the second meeting between them in the day.
Tharoor drove to the prime minister’s 7, Race Course residence in his private vehicle soon after after Manmohan Singh held a meeting of the Congress core committee including Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
The meeting was held to decide the minister’s future in the government in the wake of controversy over an ugly IPL franchise row in which his friend Sunanda Pushkar was given a sweat equity worth Rs.70 crore.
Tharoor, who has been in the firing line of a united opposition demanding his removal, met Manmohan Singh earlier in the day for over 50 minutes to explain his side of the story.
