New Delhi: Giving in
to the demands of most of the non-Congress ruled states, Home
Minister P. Chidambaram Tuesday said that the government will hold
a meeting of chief ministers on May 5 to discuss setting up of the

The home minister said he has written to all the chief ministers
and is awaiting their response.
"I have written to all the chief ministers and I hope that they
will confirm their participation. So on April 16 we will discuss
the agenda already circulated and on May 5 we will discuss NCTC,"
Chidambaram told reporters here.
