by delhi correspondent 

Absence of Pranab Mukherjee in Delhi to
put the entire Sashi Tharoor scam in perspective
to Prime Minister is being felt at the top 
political leadership.

Efforts are on to ask pranab mukherjee to come back
to Delhi from his official engagments in West Bengal.
to brief PM.

Sources close to Pranab Mukherjee indicate that
a two paragraph note was prepared by Pranab da 
and left with his assistants. That will be delivered
when PM returns to Delhi at 1530 hours on Saturday

That note contains details and will speak out Pranab mind

5 major points before PM
to take a final call

Pranab Mukerjee will meet PM and explain the inputs from Government and 
share reports of IB and other agencies after that PM and Sonia Gandhi meeting.
To focus on the following five major points


First 
Political fall out in Parliament on Monday-CPM is making this a major issue in Kerala 
that is bound to go against Congress runup to the assembly elections


Second 
Opposition unity on Sashi Tharoor is getting further cemented
and most important is that in long term UPA ally NCP leader Sharad Pawar 
continued support to Lalit Modi and distancing from IPL That is a major political risk
the UPA might be in,

Third 
Negative reports from on 
Sunandna Pushkar  IB/RAW/DRI and sleazes



Fourth 
SM Krishna has been opposed to Sashi Tharoor continuance for not obeying him
Foreign office  and senior diplomats have also been ralling behind SM Krishna against Tharoor


Fifth 
Ensuing Kerala Panchayat Elections
