New Delhi, February 28: BJP leader Sambit Patra speaking about the arrest of Karti Chidambaram in connection with the INX media case stated that none is above law. Meanwhile, the Congress party has dubbed his arrest a vendetta and diversionary tactic by the government to hide its scams.
Several Congress leaders, including the party’s communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala, Kapil Sibal and Abhishek Singhvi, spoke out against Karti Chidambaram’s arrest.
It was a classical diversionary tactic to hide corruption scams, mal-governance and mal administration that have marred this government, Surjewala said.
Karti Chidambaram, arrested by the CBI in connection with the probe into the INX Media case, sent to one-day CBI custody by Patiala House Court today evening.
The agency has alleged that Karti had received funds to the tune of 10 lakh rupees in the case. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also registered a money laundering case in the INX Media case.
