New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had on Wednesday night said that his
office has done "nothing unusual" on the T R Baalu issue for it to stoke a
controversy.
"There is nothing unusual. The Minister (Murli Deora) has explained everything
in Parliament," Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a function to launch
"The Tribune 125 years : An Anthology" at his residence.
Asked whether he was distancing himself from the controversy, he shot back
"what is there to distance?"
Earlier, Deora told the Rajya Sabha that the PMO has not issued any order to
help the company owned by T R Baalu's family but made "certain references" in a
"routine manner" on the basis of a representation by the Shipping Minister's
son. (PTI)
