NEW DELHI: Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi attacked Congress for defending P Chidambaram who was arrested on Wednesday night by CBI. Slamming the Congress, he said Congress and corruption are complementary to each other.
Attacking The Arrest of Chidambaram, Naqvi told the press persons,"Congress is trying to gain political mileage from his (Chidambaram) arrest. Congress party has been synonymous with corruption. The investigation agencies are working as per protocol and political inferences should not be made. The law will take its course."
Veteran Congress leader and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram was arrested by the CBI on Wednesday. Chidambaram was kept at the CBI headquarters throughout the night. He was also given a medical checkup. He held a brief press conference here, claimed innocence, and left for his Jor Bagh residence. Even here, he first did not allow CBI officials to enter but was eventually arrested and taken to the CBI headquarters.
After his arrest on Wednesday, the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED) team is scheduled to produce Chidambaram in the court today. The CBI is likely to seek 14 days judicial custody of Chidambaram.
