KORBA, NEW DELHI, AUGUST 19:Exactly a month ago, Union Coal Minister Shibu Soren sent out a very unusual letter to his Secretary. In a one-para note he signed on an unmarked sheet of paper, he wrote he is ânot happyâ with Coal Indiaâs Chief Vigilance Officer and there is an âimperative needâ to remove him.
Confirming he wrote the letter, Soren, asked by The Sunday Express why he wasnât happy with the CVO, said: âI write many notes, I donât remember the exact note.â
Sorenâs memory loss is hard to understand.
