New Delhi sources have reported that Congress said the Narendra Modi government was harassing senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram's family but protecting those who fled the country after siphoning off Rs 39,000 crore of public money. Accordingly the party said the government was harassing Congress leaders as it was rattled and wanted to divert attention from the unfolding scams.
Meanwhile a court here on Thursday sent in CBI custody former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram's son Karti till March 6 in the INX Media alleged bribery case. Accordingly "Chidambaram ji's family is being harassed to protect the government from the unfolding scams in bank fraud cases as they are getting rattled with each passing day.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said
"They had mentioned earlier too that we have total faith in the legal
process and ultimately the court will declare them innocent". Moreover the
question is whether a person is cooperating in the probe by appearing before
the CBI regularly and you arrest him in an 11 year old case of Rs 10 lakh
consultancy fee. We have people who have fled the country after siphoning off
Rs 39,000 crore.
