In a shift to the earlier position that the Vodafone has to pay the Rs. 11,000 crore tax to the government, Kapil Sibal, Communications minister who is also the law Minister, has stated that the government is prepared to have conciliation in the matter. This was expected at any stage. The British company, Vodafone, has been able to influence the India government  through its government also for a compromise. The statement of the Law Minister is a clear indication that the UPA government has already compromised the issue.
