AMN / NEW DELHI
Leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Thursday criticised the BJP government for pursuing vendetta politics against the party’s leaders and said former union finance minister P Chidambaram was arrested as he was vocal on corruption by the saffron party leaders.”The sole intention is to malign P Chidambaram and the Congress,” he said. Continuing his attack, Chowdhury said the “Proactive CBI becomes an inactive probe agency when it comes to investigation of graft cases against BJP leaders. This is nothing but vendetta politics against Congress leaders”.
Cong’s Support for Corruption on Display, Says BJP
The BJP on Thursday dubbed the INX media case, in which the CBI has arrested former Union minister P Chidambaram, a “scam” of massive corruption and heaped scorn on the Congress for defending him, saying the party’s support for graft was on display. “Looting the country was their (Congress) only mission and therefore law is now catching up. We don’t interfere in the works of the CBI or any probe agency. Law will take its own course, but now the Congress is united for protecting the corrupt. It is in support of corruption and this is on display,” Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said.
