Pranab convenes meeting of senior ministers

New Delhi, Jun 4 (PTI) Indian Finance Minister Pranab
Mukherjee Saturday convened a meeting of senior ministers to
further discuss the demands of yoga guru Baba Ramdev who is on
a hunger strike demanding immediate measures to get back the
black money stashed away abroad.
The meeting comes shortly after the Baba took a two-hour
break from his protest to discuss issues with government
representatives on various issues related to his demands.
P Chidambaram, Kapil Sibal, Subodh Kant Sahay, Cabinet
Secretary K M Chandrasekhar and Principal Secretary to the
Prime Minister T K A Nair were in the meeting called by
Mukherjee in his North Block office.
Meanwhile, back-channel talks are on to resolve the
stand-off in the wake of Ramdev's agitation.
Though there are no official meetings scheduled between
the two sides, sources said "talks are one and it is not
necessary to meet for holding a dialogue."
They hoped something positive would come out of this
exercise.
