Nov 18: The Congress top brass, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party chief Sonia Gandhi, are meeting here today for a strategy session in the backdrop of united opposition's demand for a joint parliamentary committee probe into the 2G spectrum scam.
The meeting of the Congress Core Group is being held amid a deadlock over the issue in the Winter Session of Parliament which started last week.
The opposition is now attacking the Prime Minister in the wake of Supreme Court's observation on Singh's "silence" on the spectrum scam and wants an explanation from him.
The Supreme Court has posed some embarrassing questions to the government about the lengthy delay on the part of the Prime Minister in taking a decision on a plea for sanction of prosecution of former Telecom Minister A Raja in the controversial 2G spectrum allocation issue.
