RBI Governor got support from Congress party's P Chidambaram. "The UPA government had appointed one of the finest economists and we have full faith in him even now," said Chidambaram. Chidambaram joked at the political rivals for creating a controversy of the Ishrat Jahan case saying, "Yes we had breakfast with Lashkar and then we invited them for dinner too," he said on the Ishrat encounter.
