Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will make a statement in Parliament on Monday on the 2G Spectrum issue.
Sources said the decision was taken after the top Congress leadership met in Delhi on Sunday to discuss the issue anticipating uproar in Parliament on Monday by the opposition, which has been demanding Telecom Minister A Raja's removal.
Dr Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and senior leaders Pranab Mukherjee and Ahmad Patel, political secretary to the Congress chief, attended the meeting amid growing view in the party that Raja's continuance in office has become untenable and that he must go.
The opposition has been demanding removal of Raja after the government auditor CAG is believed to have indicted the minister for not distributing 2G Spectrum in a transparent manner resulting in a revenue loss of over Rs.1.76 lakh crore.
On his part, Pranab refused to comment on the Spectrum controversy, saying whatever has to be said will be stated in Parliament.
"Parliament is in session. Whatever needs to be said on Telecom Minister A Raja, will be said in Parliament," he told media persons on the sidelines of a function in New Delhi.
