In the backdrop of the deepening controversy over a Finance Ministry note on the 2G issue, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi at the latter's residence 10, Janpath here.
Mukherjee's consultations with Sonia Gandhi came a day after his four-page letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh setting out in detail the events surrounding the controversial allocation of spectrum.
Before Mukherjee's meeting, Defence Minister A K Antony held parleys with Gandhi and also her Political Secretary Ahmed Patel, party sources said.This is the second meeting Mukherjee has had with Sonia Gandhi in the last three days.Home Minister P Chidambaram had met Sonia Gandhi earlier this week and the Prime Minister yesterday.
Mukherjee's letter has come in the midst of a controversy triggered by the surfacing of a note from a Finance Ministry official suggesting that the 2G scam could have been avoided had Chidambaram, then Finance Minister, insisted on auction instead of giving licences at 2001 prices.
