<b>Jairam back, cut to size</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Three months later, Jairam had been dropped from the group for âexceeding his briefâ by calling a meeting without Sonia Gandhiâs nod. He was also said to have circulated among the members a note containing personal information about Rahul that was not to be shared.
Both moves were considered sacrilege. In the Congress, all high-level meetings need the party presidentâs sanction, and the Gandhis insist on privacy and the security of information about them.
Jairam was not invited to the two meetings the committee had since September. But he was back today. âI was told to attend the meeting and I went,â Jairam said and declined to say more.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Dictatorship.
