Rahul Gandhi accuses govt. of character assassinating PC

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Rahul Gandhi tweets in support P Chidambaram. “The Modi govt is using the ED, CBI and sections of a spineless media to character assassinate Mr Chidambaram. I strongly condemn this disgraceful misuse of power.”

The Congress party yesterday criticised the BJP-led central government of doing vendetta politics as CBI team reached the house of former Finance Minister P Chidambaram after Delhi High Court dismissed his anticipatory bail plea in cases filed by the CBI and the ED related to his alleged role in INX Media scam.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted, “India witnesses worst kind of virulent vendetta by Modi Govt as the BJP runs a police state. Judge reserves judgement for 7 months & delivers it 72 hours before retirement, CBI/ED are sent to raid as a respected former FM is hounded. Banana Republic?”

Resonating similar sentiments, Congress leader Manish Tewari tweeted,  “Unrelenting, insidious and vindictive persecution of P Chidambaram and his family is an insult to rule of Law as it stands constituted in a Democracy. Those who sow the wind eventually reap the whirlwind. Hubris of ignorance and arrogance is a deadly cocktail.
