Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s patience with journalists can sometimes wear thin and he is never one to let go of a chance to make a barbed remark.
This was evident after a recent cabinet briefing where the press corps trailed Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni, eager to ask more questions in the corridors of Shastri Bhavan. It was just then that the group crossed the home minister who was entering the conference room to brief the press on the deliberations of the cabinet committee on economic affairs.
Without any provocation, he blurted out: “Soniji, please take all of them with you.”
