NEW DELHI: Breaking the ice on the allegations of corruption against his Shipping Minister, the Prime Minister said that his office had done nothing unusual on the T R Baalu issue.

Speaking at a book release function in his residence on Wednesday, he said, ''There is nothing unusual. The Petroleum Minister Murli Deora has explained everything in Parliament.''

When asked if he was distancing himself from the controversy, the Prime Minister reportedly shot back saying, ''What is there to distance?''

Meanwhile, in a statement submitted in Parliament on Wednesday, the Petroleum Minister gave a clean chit to the PMO and Shipping and Transport Minister T R Baaalu.
