Pranab to meet PM on Wednesday evening

Kolkata, Sep 28: Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said here today (Sept 28) that he would meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday evening.

"I will meet the Prime Minister in the evening, I will tell whatever I have to tell after that", Mukherjee told waiting reporters outside his south Kolkata residence.

The reporters wanted to know if he had any word with the Prime Minister who returned to the national capital last evening in the background of the reported differences within the union cabinet regarding 2G allocation.

Mukherjee, who arrived here yesterday, has already maintained that he will speak, if necessary, on the finance ministry note on 2G spectrum allocation issue only after talking to Prime Minister (today).

"I am reiterating what I have said in New York and Delhi. If there is anything necessary to speak on the finance ministry note obtained through an RTI application, I will speak after talking to the Prime Minister and other senior colleagues tomorrow", Mukherjee said on Tuesday.
