August 23, 2012 16:45

A combative Sonia Gandhi today asked Congress MPs not to be defensive on the CAG report on coal blocks allocation and to aggressively counter the offensive launched by the BJP which is demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the issue.

Gandhi told a group of Congress MPs from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, who met her this morning after the BJP-led opposition forced adjournments in both Houses, to take the Opposition onslaught head on and not be defensive.

The MPs, who met Gandhi included Sandip Dikshit, Deepinder Hooda, Jyoti Mirdha, Anu Tandon, Ranee Narah and Sanjay Nirupam.
