New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is to return this afternoon from his visit to Brazil, is expected to take a final call on Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor, who is facing the heat in light of his involvement in the IPL Kochi franchise bid.
Sources say the Congress probe committee has found prima facie evidence of impropriety in the IPL Kochi deal. The 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 monetery or personal interest were involved.
But a final call on his fate will be taken by the Prime Minister. He is likely to hold meeting with Sonia Gandhi and senior Congress leaders on Saturday itself.
The Congress party 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.
