Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal on Monday took additional charge of the law and justice ministry. "I want to thank Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi for assigning me this job as additional charge. We have almost a year to go till the next Lok Sabha election. So, in this short time of one year or less, I would do my best to carry out the responsibility assigned to me,' Sibal told media after taking charge.

In a swift and decisive move, the Congress party dropped both Ashwani Kumar and Pawan Kumar Bansal from the Union Cabinet in view of the charges of corruption and impropriety surrounding the duo.
