Custody of former minister Chidambaram a deterrent to official work, says Jairam Ramesh
The Congress on Friday claimed that ‘No minister will ever sign a file’ if they go by the fate of Mr. P. Chidambaram in the INX Media corruption case and called the action against the former finance minister as a ‘paramount example of political vendetta’.
Addressing a press conference at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters, former Union environment minister Jairam Ramesh accused the government of planning a conspiracy to “defame and character assassinate” the former finance minister in the INX Media case.
In the case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has accused Mr. Chidambaram of taking a bribe from the promoters of the company, INX Media — Peter Mukherjea and his wife, Indrani Mukherjea — to allow foreign investment in contravention of the rules.
