Congress president Sonia Gandhi has been playing the peacemaker in view of the spat between Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Home Minister P. Chidambaram over the finance ministry's 2G note.
The two ministers met Gandhi separately on Monday evening against the backdrop of finance ministry's March 2011 note to the prime minister's office (PMO) over the 2G spectrum allocation. The letter has caused major differences between two of the most trusted ministers of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has been away in the United States for the United Nations General Assembly meeting.
