Chidambaram doing "exceedingly good job": PM

New Delhi, Sept 6 (PTI) Home Minister of India P
Chidambaram may have been under frequent criticism from
Congress party functionaries, but he on Monday received full
backing of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who complimented him
for doing an "exceedingly good job".
Singh was asked at an interaction with editors
here about Chidambaram's complaint that he had a limited
mandate in dealing with the Naxal menace
"All of us have a limited mandate," the Prime Minister
responded, adding that once a policy is laid down it has to be
implemented.
Chidambaram, he said, was doing an exceedingly good
job and "he has my full confidence and support".
He complimented the Home Minister for the way in which
he had handled a difficult job in the aftermath of Mumbai
terror attacks.
Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh has been
sniping at Chidambaram on Naxal and some other issues.
Recently another General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi publicly
took a different line from the Home Minister on "saffron"
terror. PTI MKR
