No leaks, please

Home Minister P Chidambaram is not known for leaking information. So, when he chaired the first meeting of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Bhopal on Friday, his opening remark was a clear hint to his colleagues in the group which has nine other members, including Madhya Pradesh Health Minister Babulal Gaur. What Chidambaram said was: “I hope the prime minister will know about our recommendations when we submit the report on Monday and not through media reports.” Not that it stopped a lot of speculative reports on the recommendations.
