Tharoor's Judgment Day

PM Manmohan Singh, returning this afternoon from his visit to Brazil, is expected to take a decision on Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor, who is in the mist of hell lot of controversies of his involvement in the Kochi IPL team bid and Sunanda Pushkar.

Reports say the Congress probe committee has found prima facie evidence of impropriety in the Kochi IPL deal. Meanwhile Congress leadership is also not convinced by Tharoor's explanations that he just helped his state Kerala to get an IPL team and that no monetary or personal interest were involved.

But the final judgment of his fate will be taken by the Prime Minister. Meanwhile PM is likely to hold meeting with Sonia Gandhi and senior Congress leaders later today. And so Congress wants to take a final decision on Tharoor before Parliament resumes on Monday. The issue had triggered uproar in both houses before it was adjourned on Friday.
