Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today called DMK Chief M Karunanidhi over phone and urged him to reconsider the party's decision to withdraw its ministers from the UPA Government. Mr. Mukherjee, who had spoken to DMK Parliamentary Party Leader T R Baalu last night, called the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and requested that his party should not pull out of the government when it is in the midst of the Budget Session. Earlier, Mr. Mukherjee, who had a meeting with DMK Minister Dayanidhi Maran, met Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi in Parliament House. Sources said Karunanidhi told Mukherjee that the Congress should abide by the agreement by which Congress will contest only 60 seats and not ask for more. During the meeting between Maran and Mukherjee, Political Secretary to Sonia Gandhi Ahmed Patel and Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad were also present. Meanwhile, the DMK ministers have postponed their resignations over seat sharing in the forthcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Meanwhile, highly-placed Congress sources said in New Delhi that the party was keeping all options open. AIR correspondent reports, after seat-sharing talks between the two parties collapsed, the DMK announced on Saturday its decision to withdraw its ministers from the Manmohan Singh cabinet. The DMK yesterday seemingly hardened its stand even not ruling out Left parties joining its alliance. After an informal meeting with his party leaders, Karunanidhi had hinted about the possibility of Left parties joining the alliance. To a question, Karunanidhi had said the Congress' demand for 63 seats over the agreed number of 60 was one of the reasons for the DMK's decision. The DMK has six ministers and 18 MPs, allowing it to be an influential member of the coalition government at the Centre.
