Union Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran met the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh this morning amidst reports that he has resigned for his alleged role in 2G spectrum allocation. However, there is no official confirmation of the resignation. Mr. Maran has come under the Supreme Court's scanner in the 2G Spectrum allocation scam with the CBI filing its fresh status report on the probe before the apex court yesterday. Senior Advocate K K Venugopal, who read the status report before a Bench of Justice G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly, said that during 2004-07, a Chennai-based telecom promoter was forced to sell his stakes in Aircel telecom company to a Malaysian firm in 2006.
