Soni called on the Prime Minister on Friday and is understood to have briefed him about the drafting of the fresh affidavit on the issue, Culture Ministry sources said.
The Minister had to suffer a major embarrassment after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) questioned the existence of Lord Rama in its affidavit on the Sethusamudram issue before the Supreme Court last September.
The affidavit had to be withdrawn later after strong protest from Hindu groups.
The new affidavit is being drafted carefully in a matter-of-fact manner and it is likely to mention that the project was conceived during the NDA regime, the sources said.
Legal officers and ASI officials involved with the controversial affidavit filed before the Supreme Court last time have been removed from future involvement in the case.
With recent election results of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh going the BJP way, the Congress-led UPA government is trying to avoid another political storm over the Ram Setu issue.

RatingCongress party of today is the rabid anti-hindu organization. Otherwise, how can they file affidavit saying Sri Ram does not exist, Ramayan is a fiction? Even though they withdraw the affidavit as they found they will loose HIndu votes, they never apologise to Hindus and the nation for denograting Sri Ram and hurting Hindus. Congress-led govt passed a resolution condemning Danish govt just for someone drawing few cartoons of muslims profet. Why was Congress so eager to condemn a foreign govt, and silent on issues in our own country? Hindus must wake-up, and unite under one banner to protect our dharma and nation. Todays Congress is worst than Mughal rule, even Mughals had no guts to denigrate Sri Ram. No self-respected Hindus work and support for Congress, those hindus work for Congress are collaborators to anti-hindu Italian chrsitian woman. Truth must be faced and speak out.
In the view of the Ram Sethu affidavit issue, it is shocking to see politicians and sections of the media treating Hindu sentiments casually. Once again our PM was out of the loop – this time in filing the affidavit by his government that Rama is a myth. The present case is an illustration of the UPA government's inability to show guts and acknowledge a mistake and address it. It is well known that the UPA government functions under the direction of Sonia Gandhi. If it gets bouquets then she receives them while brickbats are hurled at the others who form a firing line to protect her. When she realizes the opposition and fears that an issue would adversely impact a vote bank then she steps in to right the wrong and earns encomiums. Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi, who is good at verbal jugglery said, 'To err is human, but to rectify is divine', the ASI bureaucrats are humanized by receiving all the blame for the affidavit – but who is made divine? Divinity is a manifestation of godliness one wonders which god's divinity he has in mind. Even genuine objections expressed by the Hindus are dismissed as extremist, a stark contrast to the way minority issues are dealt with.
