Even after this serious allegation and the following hullabaloo, the Congress party decided to firmly back Chidambaram and said there is not rift within the party over the 2G scam. The Union Law minister Salman Khurshid strongly spoke in support of him saying, "We have no reason to put a question mark on Mr Chidambaram's conduct. We stand by him." He rubbished the media buzz about the possible differences between the key ministers and said, "We cannot comment on the paper till court takes it into account. It is just one sided presentation of documents."
The main opposition BJP was quick to react and demanded the Home Minister's resignation over the letter. BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said, "It was very clear from day one that Chidambaram agreed to A. Raja's formula for 2G spectrum allocation. If he had stuck to his position that spectrum should not be allocated at 2001 prices the scam would not have taken place." CPI National Secretary D. Raja said "Chidambaram's position, morally speaking, is increasingly becoming untenable. His role as the then finance minister needs to be examined and questioned."
